Colorado Columbine

I am finally getting around to uploading my picture of the day! Crazy weekend and life right now!!
This is our state flower, the Rocky Mountain Columbine (Aquilegia caerules). It was adopted as the official state flower on April 4, 1899 ! Just love these flowers!

I love Columbines as well. Is there a difference between a Colorado Columbine and another Columbine?

@annamaker Thank you Anna Mae! I believe the only difference is the color. Our state flower is the lavender and white color.

We moved in to our current home about five years ago and I was actually thrilled when I found purple and pink columbines growing in our flower bed last year. We didn't plant them, and they didn't bloom the previous years, so I have no idea how they got there. I'm not complaining though. The flowers are simply lovely. :-) Nice capture.
