One Slow Flower

The Columbine seeds were collected in 2010 at Brooklyn Botanic while working with Mike in the plant family collection and came home in my pocket. The plant sown from those seeds finally bloomed in Joe's garden this spring and this is one flower that made it's way home in the paniers of Joe's bicycle this week.

What a wonderful journey. That would make a nice children's picture book.

The columbine would certainly make a good charactor. I can't draw, but it's such a great flower. You made me picture it dancing across pages.

Yeah. It's a pretty sweet flower and those seeds made it over to my sister-in-law too who reports hers is getting ready to bloom too!
