Blue Columbine



Columbine
Aquilegia
(a-kwi-LEE-jee-uh)

This wonderful colored Columbine came up in a patch of seedlings. The mother plants have long since disappeared only being vigorous for a couple of seasons. I was happy to have it and hopefully it will seed itself.

It’s coming to the time of year where I gather up a lot of pictures for use during the winter. There could be pictures from any time of the year.

"The little windflower, whose just opened eye is blue as the spring heaven it gazes at."
William C. Bryant


This is a nifty shade groundcover if you can provide the right moisture and light.
