🙂 Thank you!
No, I did not know this!
Several years ago while 4 wheeling, I came across a field where these grew naturally. I’d seen them before but never like this. It was incredible and I fell in love with them!

I didn’t know Columbine is the Colorado State flower until Kristine mentioned it on her blog awhile back. Kristine, knowing you only have pink and yellow and that purple is your favorite, I took this picture just for you!
Did you know:
In 1925, the General Assembly made it the duty of all citizens to protect this rare species from needless destruction or waste. To further protect this fragile flower, the law prohibits digging or uprooting the flower on public lands and limits the gathering of buds, blossoms and stems to 25 in one day. It is unlawful to pick the columbine on private land without consent of the land owner.
