 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  I am going to continue on with another of my favorites.  This is Wild Columbine or Red Columbine.  It's actually in the Buttercup family which was a surprise to me.  They bloom in April and May and are often visited by Ruby Throat Hummingbirds and Bumblebees.  The name is said to come from the Latin word Aquila, which means eagle, due to the spurs on the petals which look like talons.
