Great shot!
Thanks! 🙂
Beautiful plant – the markings are fantastic
it’s quite a beauty 🙂
Beautiful closeup and I love all the background color!
Thanks so much!
Lovely shot! My columbine is just about to bloom too. 🙂
Hooray! I love these self-seeding beauties! Cheers, Ben
beautiful!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Gorgeous .. 😊
I’m encouraging the blue ones in my garden. Did I spot a blue one in the background of your close-up?
yep, its a lovely deep blue…i find the hotter colors always seem to do better in our garden than the cooler…not sure if i have the data to back that up, but that’s the way it seems 😉
Beautiful shot. Such rich colors. When I was a child, I successfully transplanted one of these from the forest to a garden. Adults said it couldn’t be done. 😉
Cheers to beauty, taking chances, and defying conventional wisdom! 🙂
Gorgeous. They jump the garden happily here in the UK, although I’m not sure they’re truly wild. But when they do they lose the mix of colors I’d learned to associate with them and turn either a solid purplish blue or a solid pink.
Thanks, Ellen! We’re collecting seeds this year in order to sprinkle them randomly around the yard and garden next (and perhaps the neighborhood) next spring. Spread the joy! 😉
Joy indeed.
