Red Columbine/ Today's Flowers

Wild red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)

The nodding blossoms of this delicate yet hardy perennial are often pollinated by hummingbirds.

    I just discovered this spring that my Mom has pink ones. She's saving me seeds. :)
    Lovely shot!

    That is a beautiful and delicate flowers. We have blue-and-white columbines in our area, but I've never seen one like this.

    Like Pat, every columbine picture I see is so much different than other ones I've seen. It is certainly a diverse little flower, but a very pretty one nonetheless.

    Oh, how I love Columbine! It doesn't like our soil, though. :-(

    Nice photo.

    Beautiful photo-wonderful texture so delicate I just planted columbines in my garden this year and as of yet they have not bloomed. I am really looking forward to them.

    The red columbine is beautiful. I'm not sure if I've ever seen red columbine before.

    I think they have Columbines in Colorado but I don't recall seeing any here. Very beautiful.

    Re your question on Ocala: No, we haven't photographed all the horses...probably about 15 or so. I'm not even sure where they are all located. Every once in awhile we run into one we haven't seen before.

    That is a stunning colour of columbine. If I am coming by your way I may email you, as I would love a cutting.
