My other “Darling of Spring” is a tiny Columbine, ‘Little Lanterns’ Aquilegia canadensis.
It is always the first Columbine to bloom.
I have it right by the path into our house because it is less than 10 inches tall.
It will not be overlooked, however, because if its “fire engine red” blooms.
I have many varieties of Columbine that I will share later,
but this one is my most precious.
I have one more itty-bitty plant to share, but you will have to wait several weeks for it.
Every day is an art show in April.
I hope you are out and about. It’s a beautiful world.

I see a little ant who is also enjoying the tiny columbine flower. Cute!

I could not even see these until I zoomed in with my camera. That’s how tiny they are.

My A. canadensis blooming too! My yellow Aquilegia didn’t do much this year, that was a big disappointment. Your canadensis are lovely!
