The columbine is Colorado's state flower. You usually see the blue and white variety but ours are all yellow, and quite vigorous. They are shaded most of the day, so I guess they like that.

They are also vigorous self-seeders. I usually end up pulling out quite a few seedlings from between the patio flagstones. If anyone wants seeds to sow in the fall, just yell!
those are GORGEOUS! what a beautiful summery photo!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They are great as cut flowers, too.
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful! I'm yelling -- and I can send a self-addressed stamped envelop if you would be so kind as to send me some seeds. Columbine is one of the few plants my deer won't eat. I might as well call them "my" deer since I'm providing a good deal of their food.
