Red Columbine

Hike with no expectations. No timeline. Just go. Let nature surprise you. There is so much out there. Take it all in.

Up the mountain, in a spot with perfect conditions, a rocky slope. Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis). Native to eastern North America. A favorite of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, but of course.

  1. Hi Brenda! Have you ever seen a Canadian blacksnakeroot plant? One has appeared on our place. I never saw one before!
