These gorgeous plants move and mix to supply surprises each spring. Their tiny, black seeds drop as the pods dry.
I have purchased many varieties over the years. The separated ones stay true to color, but the grouped varieties make new color combinations. This habit provides amazing new hues.
The white beside the lower pond has stayed white for years. This looks lovely beside the variegated Solomon’s Seal.
Most of mine are variations of pink and purples. I do have a late bloomer, double, ‘Ruby Port’, that I have kept in isolation. I will share it when it blooms.
I may have lost my tiny favorite , ‘Little Lantern’, which had gorgeous red blooms. I hope it will return.
With Columbines, one never is sure which colors will appear in the spring. That is part of the fun.

White really lets the complex shape stand out. Could it be any whiter? It almost glows.

A sweet favorite of mine too. They certainly do pair nicely with Solomon’s Seal. Lovely photos.
