Daniel P Woods > Colorado Columbine

This exotic Columbine is the state flower of Colorado.  It has a broad habitat range, thriving on hot, dry, talus slopes and in moist, shady forests; its color varies through a wonderful range of whites, blues, and purples; and its flowers thrive from June through August.  The five petals have unusual and showy spurs; the five sepals are usually larger than the petals.  

"Coerule" is Latin for "blue".

Aquilegia coerulea (Colorado Columbine)
Synonym: Helleboraceae (Hellebore Family). 
Ranunculaceae (Buttercup Family) 
Alpine, subalpine, montane.  Meadows, woodlands, rocks, scree.  Summer.

All photos were taken at American Basin,Yankee boy basin and Crested Butte Co.   By Daniel P Woods
