I shot this with my gl2 at the first of the month. thought I might share.

this flower most springs occurs only for a few short days in the grasslands her in the prairies.

the clips were all linked together to show progression, but I had to cut them down for file size.

the one file is highly recuced.

Wish I could show the 12 second clip in its entiriety.

Need to get a web page!!!


these are my favorite prairie flower along with the prairie lilly wich should blossom in the next three weeks.

The second of your 3 images showed up better for me Dale.
Your flower shape, stem & foliage look a little bit like a European alpine called the pasque flower (pulsatilla), of which I grow these 2 ...

Brendan,

I am not a floral expert but I would definitely say these two are of the same family!!! I love the color in the two you show!! curiously, do they to have a short blooming period??
