- The Crimson Columbine
Aquilegia formosa of the Buttercup family (a.k.a. Red Columbine, Western Columbine, Sitka Columbine).
The Crimson Columbine is a common and attractive wildflower native to western North America, from Alaska to Baja California and eastward to Montana and Wyoming.

The flowers can be seen from April to August (with some variation between regions) and are about 5 cm long and red and yellow in color.
Within its range, the Crimson Columbine can be found in most kinds of habitat. However, it is not found on desert floors, nor at altitudes above 3300 metres, and it is absent from the Central Valley of California. It prefers moist locations such as stream banks.
