Fovant, Salisbury, UK

A nice surprise: a white aquilegia vulgaris -- or columbine
-- found growing in a local hedgerow!

Sweet aquilegias! One of my favourite flowers...

Ah, columbine. The quintessential english cottage garden flower...

And you actually know the name of this flower...
I am not playing here. I always felt a bit of shame for not really knowing the names of the flowres at all. I mean not even the daily ones, much less the botanical version of them.
They look so delicate these aquilegia... not vulgaris at all! Ok now I was trying to be funny :)
I'll better crawl out of here in shame...

Bye the way. I like the photo. The colors are very beautiful and it's so sharp that we can almost feel the velvety texture of the flowers.
Well... I hope they are velvety so that I can get one right today ;)
