Western Columbine blooming in Cararact Gulch #westerncolumbine #wildflowers #mttamalpais #mttamwatershed #naturephotography

#Aquilegiaformosa, the #crimsoncolumbine, #westerncolumbine, or #redcolumbine, is a common #wildflower native to western North America, from Alaska to Baja California, and eastward to Montana and Wyoming. Most of these were covered in aphids but I think they are still worth sharing 🙃
