Haller's pasque flower

Overview

Haller's pasque flower (Pulsatilla haller) is a species of wildflower native to the alpine meadows of the Swiss Alps. It grows to be between 10-15 cm in height and has a striking deep blue-purple coloring on its petals and a yellow center. The flower blooms from late May to June and is pollinated by insects like butterflies and bees. This plant is an important part of its alpine ecosystem, since bees rely on it as a source of nectar. Additionally, it is highly sought after since it is rare, with limited access due to its difficult terrain and inaccessible location atop mountains.
