It has come to my attention that the columbine I have been photographing for the last 3 or so years is not Wild Columbine. Apparently Wild Columbine is reddish with yellow. The ones I have been photographing are pink. I mean, they are growing in the forest. The pink I have seen in more than one place, but perhaps that means very little. This past week, I was lucky to be looking low and found the most brilliant, incredible Columbine flowers I have ever seen. So, again I go and look them up. For sure this is wild. And there IS a blue Columbine, but I am not seeing one that looks like the one I photographed AND it is native to the Rockies (Colorado-Arizona).
Anyway, until I can get these flowers accurately named, let's just call them Columbine, and make note that they were found in the forest.
This photo below I got from Wikipedia which shows the Wild Columbine (east coast variety), colors as defined by my books and internet. Photo by Sage Ross. Notice the reddish flower with the yellow inside. My flowers are one solid color.
