Wild Columbine
Wild Columbine or Aquilegia canadensis is an herbaceous perennial native to woodland and rocky slopes in eastern North America, prized for its red and yellow flowers. This beautiful woodland wildflower has showy, drooping, bell-like flowers equipped with distinctly backward-pointing tubes, similar to the garden Columbines. These tubes, or spurs, contain nectar that attracts long-tongued insects and hummingbirds especially adapted for reaching the sweet secretion. It is reported that Native Americans rubbed the crushed seeds on the hands of men as a love charm.
