General Notes

Note

Expanded Wall Label: A graceful appearing plant, the wild columbine has multiple slender stems arching to a down hanging single blossom. The individual blossoms have bright red spurs and yellow petals. The entire plant may be three feet tall with numerous blossoms. Usually seen under a deciduous forest canopy in early spring, the columbine adds a distinctive color to the outdoor palette. This print also shows the shiny surface of the blossom.
