SHOOTING STARS, Aquilegia…

Aquilegia chrysantha 'Yellow Queen' .

 

This columbine cultivar is perennial that features large, upward facing, fragrant, bright yellow flowers with long, outward curving spurs.

 

Flowers grow on a long stem above the leaves and have five pointed yellow sepals and five yellow petals with long spurs projecting backwards between the sepals.

At the center of the flower are many yellow stamens.

 

Aquilegia comes from the Latin word for eagle in reference to the flower's five spurs which purportedly resemble an eagle's talon.
