One of my favorite flowers to photograph in the spring are columbine (Aquilegia a member of the Rannuculus family). I love seeing the native columbine Aquilegia canadensis in the woods and along the roadsides. Several of the gardens in the DC area have wonderful displays of some of the cultivated varieties of columbine that bloom every year. Here are a few photos of columbine that I’ve photographed at local gardens.
