Description
This is a 3rd version of my photo art piece entitled 'Columbine Budding'. The purple of the flower's bud has been perked up in vibrancy, and the greens in the background are more complimentary to the flower.
One of the first signs of spring are these tiny Columbine buds. (sorry that I incorrectly named this image the first time around) 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
