Golden Columbine ~ Herbarium ~ 11" x 14"

This listing is for a real pressed plant and botanical specimen. Inspired by herbarium specimens, it is an artistic presentation of Golden Columbine (Aquilegia chrysantha) which I grew collected from my garden in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Golden columbines grow in moist canyons and around spring seeps in southwestern mountain ranges. They prefer shade, but can tolerate a considerable amount of sun and heat. They are widely used as ornamentals in southwestern gardens where they are prized for their showy flowers, relatively long blooming period, and rich emerald green foliage. The flower is also a symbol of endurance, fortitude, and perseverance. Your purchase includes a “Story of Flowers” card explaining the name, folklore or symbology, and natural history of the flower.

The plant is mounted on acid-free, high-quality (320 gsm), watercolor paper handmade in India. A collection label is also included with the specimen scientific name, common name, family name, location and date collected.
