Columbine: A Very Clever Survivor

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Also known as Granny's Bonnet, the name Columbine comes from the Latin word "dove" because the shape of the inverted flower resembles doves clustered together. The Columbine is also a major source of food for a species of bumblebee call the Bombus hortorum.

Good photos _

Its beautiful bluish and cut foliage is easily recognizable, even at the stage of the seedlings, which makes it possible to save the spontaneous sowing. Do not move them because the root pivots are fragile. Although vivacious, columbine persists especially in the garden by its natural seedlings.
