3/27/18

Here's a flower for today.  This is a 2 image focus stack of a Columbine flower from my garden this past summer.  I love these flowers and the details of them.  From Wikipedia:  The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because of the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together.
