The first Pasque Flowers on Easter Weekend

The commom Pasque Flower  / Küchen- oder Kuhschelle  / Pulsatilla vulgaris 

at a dry meadow near the village of Laudenbach.

It's the first weekend they "creep" from the ground.

The Easter Fountain at the village of Laudenbach traditionally decorated at Easter!

Happy and Peaceful Easter to all of you!

 

Ah, linger on, thou art so fair!

I really don't want to bore you, folks, but I MUST post another series of Pulsatilla / pasque flower photos I shot today. This time I was only 15 km away from my door sill, close by the village of Weikersheim-Laudenbach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

We are still at the beginning of the pustilla budding at the little dry grass strip close by Laudenbach.

It is stated that there will be up to 3.000 blossoms in the pasque flowers heyday.

At the moment there will be at least on third of the flowers visible.

But it was really a wow / grand oportunity (for me) to sit (carefully) between all the purple gems.

I hope you can enjoy my close-ups, too.

Pretty in pink
