Pulsatilla (Anemone) patens
Herbaceous perennial with pale bluish-purple sepals. Very hairy leaves and stems. Called pasque flower because they often bloom around Easter.
Prairies to mountain slopes ranging from Alaska south and east to Texas and Illinois.
Found in profusion blooming on May 22, 2011, near the Lily Lake trail in Rocky Mountain National Park
