Aquilegia
formosa ~ Crimson Columbine |
| Aquilegia formosa looks quite exotic, but
in fact it is a California native. There is a certain magic about the columbines.
The shape of the Crimson Columbine flowers is rather otherworldly with their deep nectaries. If you are looking for
a hot color this Crimson will certainly put a smile on your face.
Aquilegia formosa is native to the
higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada range but will grow in a meadow setting near the
coast. You can see the plants in a cultivated setting at the Santa
Barbara Botanic Gardens, in Santa Barbara in their meadow section.
