Columbines are my favorite! Every year I try a couple of different varieties from seed. Right now I don't have the red and yellow ones, but they are so sweet.
Lovely! In my garden, the columbines are just poking through the ground, and it will be just a few more weeks before I have a vase full of them in my kitchen!
I remember those from my childhood, never reized they were Columbine. Didn't we call them Jack in the Pulpit? I also remember picking bouquets of blue Lupine, white Daisies & orange spotted Tiger Lillies. I miss those wild flowers!
After spending part of my childhood in CO, I have a special love of columbines! They are stunning. I love the ones you are growing- understated, but still unmistakably columbine.
I love Columbines. I have never grown any though, I guess I am paranoid that I will kill them in my finicky soil.
On another note I saw these Ornithology themed Easter eggs and thought of Felix- http://blog.imaginechildhood.com/imagine-childhood/2011/04/-eggs-for-ornithology.html
Absolutely Beautiful!!!
