Pasque Flower

I climbed up to Therfield Heath, near Royston to get a look at the rare pasque flowers that grow there at this time of year.

The pretty-in-purple Pasqueflower is now a rare plant in the UK, restricted to just a few chalk and limestone grasslands. Steeped in legend, it flowers at Easter, so is known as the 'anemone of Passiontide'.
