Plant: Eastern pasqueflower (Pulsatilla Patens) 腎葉白頭翁

When I visited Rocky Mountain National Park, I enjoyed seeing Pulsatilla Patens by the side of the trail at Lumpy Ridge. It felt like a treasure hunt to look for them when I walked on the trail. Pulsatilla patens is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Europe, Russia, Mongolia, and China. Common names include Eastern pasqueflower and cutleaf anemone. Pasque comes from Old French for Easter in reference to the spring bloom time. It is the state flower of South Dakota.
當我去落磯山國家公園玩時,在 Lumpy Ridge 的小徑旁看到腎葉白頭翁,我很喜歡這野花。當我走在步道上時,尋找它們的感覺就像是在尋寶似的。腎葉白頭翁是毛茛科的一種開花植物,原產於歐洲、俄羅斯、蒙古和中國。俗名包括東方白頭翁和切葉海葵。Pasque 來自古法語,表示復活節,指的是春天的盛開時間。它是南達科他州的州花。
