more aquilegia

Cooking for guests, so a quick blip taken just before they got here.

The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals are said to resemble an eagle's claw.

"Columbine" is derived from the Latin word for pigeon (columba).

Also know as 'granny's bonnet' or 'old lady's bonnet'.
