Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)



     The Red Columbine is a perennial, native wildflower that gets about two feet tall. It develops a drooping, red and yellow flower with upward spurred petals alternating with spreading, colored sepals and numerous yellow stamens hanging below the petals. The compound leaves are divided into three round lobes. It likes part shade to shade in sandy, well-drained soil in deciduous woodlands and woodland edges. (LS)
