Description
This is a 2nd version of my photo art piece called Columbine Budding. The bud has been altered to look more bluish in colour,and the background texture has more reds and pinks in it.
One of the first signs of spring are these tiny Columbine buds. I found this newly budding plant in my neighbour's garden in mid-May. Columbine flowers are perennials that offer seasonal interest throughout much of the year. They bloom in a variety of colors during spring, which emerge from attractive dark green foliage that turns maroon colored in fall. The bell-shaped flowers are also a favorite to hummingbirds and may be used in cut-flower arrangements.
The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together
