Columbine flowering in the Snake River Canyon. Idaho

We found this columbine flowering along the Snake River Canyon near Twin Falls, Idaho. It was along the trail to the Perrine Coulee Waterfall. We stopped to get pictures of them on our way back. These flowers are pollinated mainly by hummingbirds.

Colorado Columbine in Granite Canyon, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

 This is a photo of a Colorado Columbine (Aquilegia coerulea) in bloom in Granite Canyon in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.  We were on a backpacking trip in the southern part of the park and we were in Granite Canyon on our first day.

Columbine flowers are very distinctive thanks to the spurs off of their petals.  These flowers are in the buttercup family.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
