The Pasque flower is plentiful in the wild. It's found in many areas in the tundra. The plant only grows on southward facing slopes and is common throughout northwestern U.S. up to northern Alaska. The Pasque flower is also the state flower of South Dakota. It is also called meadow anemone and is a member of the buttercup family. It opens in early spring. The Pasque flower, like all tundra plants, grows low to the ground to protect itself from the cold climate. It is also covered in fine silky hairs, which help insulate it.
