Blooming Pasque Flowers at the Freeport Prairie

  • Freeport Prairie Nature Preserve Freeport, IL, 61032 United States (map)

Admire one of the prairie’s harbingers of spring, the pasque flower. Unlike the crocus it resembles, a pasque flower, Anemone patens, is a member of the buttercup family. In early spring the plant sends up a flower stalk in advance of leaves so what you see are delicate pale violet blooms nestled in the muted tan tangle of last year’s prairie grasses.

Come and see how Pasque Flower blooms actually move to track the sun. The Freeport Prairie is an Illinois Nature Preserve located on Freeport’s south side.
