Several of you asked WHAT the variety of flower was featured as our photo-of-the-day on May 18, 2014. Well, it’s in my perennial flower garden and it’s a …
columbine.

I have heard of these flowers but have never seen them that I know of. What a delicate and colorful garden addition to enjoy!
The beautiful Columbine, Colorado’s State Flowers, a sight to see in the Mountains of Colorado when they are all in full bloom in their many colors. What a beautiful flower to have for my state flower.
From the slightly fuzzy look of the flower, I thought it was a type of mountain bluebell. I’ve never seen a blue Columbine! How pretty!
It’s not like the Colorado columbines that grow wild in our mountains. And it’s not like any that I have planted in my yard. It is GORGEOUS!! What variety is it?

Variety? Now where did I put those garden notes? I do have it written down and will find it when I have more than two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Or two swats of a cow’s tail.
Thanks MaryJane. I have seen them in the U.P., but farther north of us.
