Columbine

Posted by Slackwater - don (spokane, United States) on 27 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.

The Columbine is an early Summer flowering plant. One of the easiest perennials to grow, so they say, with interesting flower shapes. I'm off today on a trip to Omak/Okanagan (150 miles; 241k) which will hopefully result in some new photos.
