When in bloom, pasque flowers have either broad white or purple petals with a yellow interior. They can be quite striking when blanketing the alpine meadows of Mount Rainier National Park, mixing in amongst the bluebonnets, lupine, indian paintbrush and daisies. That being said, I much prefer the furry, “Cousin It” looking balls of hair they become after the petals drop. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/400th of a second

They look like hairy Q-tips!
Must look more appealing when mixed with other flowers as you described, but quite different to the eye
So rich in simplicity.
The flower blooms early in spring, which leads to the common name Pasque flower, since Pasque refers to Easter (Passover). They remind me of crocus.
4 little dust mops.
lol, they remind me of the trees in the Lorax 🙂 nice one!
looks like could be used for dust mops.
