Cerulean
With spurred sepals colored like a clear sky, blue columbine (aka Colorado columbine, Rocky Mountain columbine; Aquilegia caerulea) shines near treeline on Niwot Ridge in the Front Range of the southern Rocky Mountains. This species occurs across a very wide range of habitats, from stream-sides around 7000' (2100 m) to protected areas in the alpine above 12,000' (3700 m).
This concludes a very short series of plants in the genus Aquilegia, the columbines.
