Red Columbine (
Aquilegia canadensis) is a perennial wildflower that is native to this area. It is a member of the buttercup family. These pics where taken at
Necedah NWR in Wisconsin but it is quite common in parts of both Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The red columbine begins to flower fairly early in the summer, beginning in April in some of the warmer climates, and can last until July, these pics were taken in mid June. The flower consists of 5 red tubular petals which hang down in a bell type of shape. The stamen is bright yellow and pokes out of the end of the bell. They can often be found on hill sides and in rocky areas.
