The leaves of Wild Columbine are alternately arranged and divided into three leaflets, and each one is lobed. This area of Middle Creek was exposed to the sun for about half of the day.
What a unique flower to be a Pennsylvania native! The flowers of wild columbine are a deep red with a long spur on the back of each petal. These are nodding flowers--which, to my unexposed sensibilities, seems so exotic.
