My daughter started a columbine from seed and I planted it as just a tiny thing with a couple of leaves. It has been coming up every spring. They look so delicate but seem pretty resilient!

I’m forever going to see pigeons when I look at them now. I love them and all their surprise variations 🧡

Once you’ve seen the pigeons you can’t unsee them 😃 - I love those columbines!

You describe all my favorites 💜

Here it is columbine season, they are everywhere. Love them for it. Almost a shame that you have to look upside down for the most beautiful side of the flower. And, espescially with the pinkish ones, I see the unopened flower heads as hearts with file chambers. Silly me 😊

I love them too, our garden is full of them, from purple to almost white. I can see what you mean with the heart shape though, it’s there, together with the pigeons and eagles. It’s such a lovely and slightly complicated looking flower, we can see whatever we feel in our hearts!
