Prairie Pasque
Apr 6, 2016
South Dakota’s state flower, the pasqueflower, is among the first flowers to bloom in spring — sprouting from late March until early June. They are sensitive to herbicides and are more likely to be found in untilled areas, some say especially on north slopes. Bruce Porisch found these pasqueflowers on the steep hillsides of a pasture near Flandreau.
