wattsy Posted April 29, 2017 Share #1 Â Posted April 29, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Pasqueflower, being very fussy about the level of grazing, is now quite rare in the UK and restricted to a handful of chalk and limestone grassland locations. The annual display on Therfield Heath near Royston is probably the most extensive and takes place for a couple of weeks in April.

fotografr Posted April 29, 2017 Share #3 Â Posted April 29, 2017 These have long been one of my favorite flowers. I've only seen them in cultivated gardens, never growing wild as they are in your photos. Thanks for posting this beautiful set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Posted April 29, 2017 Share #5  Posted April 29, 2017 A welcomed recess from the chaotic clamor ringing all too often today, your "Pasqueflower " echoes the poetic spirit of John Keats's lines from "Ode to a Nightingale":  I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree while; White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.  "Pasqueflower" let's us see the rare flowers at our feet.
