A Bouquet of Columbines
 |
| Colorado Columbine |
perennial,
deceiving delicate appearance,
yet strong and hardy
it more than survives,
it thrives,
in extreme alpine regions...
blue,
bell-shaped petals
match the mountain sky
trailing sweet nectar-filled crescent spurs,
shoulders a mantel of snow white inner petals
crowned with gold stamens
a Colorado Columbine ...
