Why the Pasque?

You know the pasque--that sturdy little bloom that is first to dot the prairies with color each spring. The pasque is the state flower of South Dakota, perhaps because she is a lot like us: resilient, courageous, and tough-as-nails. But the pasque is more than just tough--she is perennial. You can count on the pasque to show up, no matter how long or dark or cold the winter. The pasqueflower blooms in April, around Eastertime. It is known as the "anemone of Passiontide." Its name is derived from the word "paschal" meaning "of Easter." We are Easter people just like our state flower is an Easter flower. We rise up from long, cold, dark winters and turn our faces toward the sun. Open-hearted, filled with hope and ready to grow. South Dakotans know that every winter melts away, and every spring is a fresh start.
