Eastern Columbine

Aquilegia canadensis (Eastern Columbine)
We seeded Aquilegia canadensis (Eastern Columbine) around the house some years ago, and it's repaid that effort abundantly.
Aquilegia canadensis flower

Even though a perennial, it self-sows prolifically, so we've had lots of plants pop up nearby.  They're easy to manage, however, so their fecundity isn't really a problem.

They're in flower now in the Piedmont.  Who knows, maybe a hummingbird or two has dropped by when I wasn't watching!
