It is the state flower of South Dakota, growing wild over all the prairie.
It is highly toxic, slowing the heart. Excess can cause diarrhea, hypotension and even coma. DO NOT INGEST IT!!!

The Pasque Flower
So named because it blooms around the time of Easter (Passover). Everything is a bit late this year due to the exceptionally cold winter and spring. Everyday I find something new blooming in the yard!
