I agree that the photos I took have backgrounds that don't look very different from Great Lakes gravel hill prairies... but the broader landscape sure looked a lot different!Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-69907958820937366232012-04-08T15:02:54.511-07:002012-04-08T15:02:54.511-07:00Very nice, Scott.

I like the way how you captured the habitat in the background- it does not look much different from my experience with the species on gravel hill prairies in Rockford, IL and Madison, WI. It bloomed mid-March there this spring.Bradford Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088133626304196030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-23010806912733367382012-04-08T14:48:15.289-07:002012-04-08T14:48:15.289-07:00Thanks Abby.

I assume that the fruit are also where the common name Prairie Smoke comes from.Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-89241888544840904302012-04-08T14:44:25.755-07:002012-04-08T14:44:25.755-07:00Thanks Keith.

Regarding the interpretation of the Latin name Pulsatilla, did you read what they have to say on the Colorado wildflowers page for which I included a link?Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-89769254112774945812012-04-08T10:37:05.960-07:002012-04-08T10:37:05.960-07:00Nice!

I'm jealous - it's been much too long since the one time I got to see this species dance on the breeze near Rockford, Illinois. Someday I hope to see the fruiting heads pulsating in the wind (Pulsatilla = pulsating, or, with rhythmic movements).Keith Boardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083771082232156983noreply@blogger.com
