Columbine – McKana Group – Aquilegia

by | May 6, 2009 | Flowers | 2 comments

In addition to the wonderful Robin Columbine, I photographed several colors of columbine (aquilegia)  from the McKana cultivator at Longwood Gardens. This type of columbine produces multiple colors of flowers on the same plant. Here are some of my photos of the Columbine from the McKana Group.

I’m hoping to get back up to Longwood Gardens soon – I’ve heard they usually have columbine flowers surrounding one of the fountains on the garden walk in the spring.

    Nice job as always 🙂 The first one is pretty cool — the way the flower hangs down is interesting, never seen that before!
    One of my next purchases will be a macro, were these shot with one?
