These sweet little yellow columbines (Aquilegia flavescens) make me smile whenever I come across them. This one caught my eye last June while out at Grotto Mountain, and the photo is an absolute bright spot for me on this snowy, blustery day in January.
I hope everyone had a joyful holiday season and that the start of 2017 has been good to you! I will be taking a hiatus from Flowery Prose at least until the end of January and possibly until mid-February to tackle a bunch of projects…I look forward to catching up with all of you then!
Flowery Prose 
Nice. Not sure I’ve ever seen one that colour. Happy new year, Sheryl!
Thanks so much, Cynthia! Happy New Year to you as well!
I love them in all colors.They are special.
They truly are!
It’s a bright spot in my day, too. I just finished hauling in plants ahead of our freezing temperatures, and rigging up freeze cloth and lights for the pots that are too heavy to move. I don’t mind — this is the way it often is in January on the Texas coast — but that columbine surely is a nice reminder of summer.
Definitely a treat at this time of year! Hope your weather has gotten a bit warmer….
I need to go look at more flower photos, to carry me through! Have a good hiatus–be productive but come back soon!
Thanks so much!
Happy New Year! Will miss you. Hope you get much done on your projects.
Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you as well!
Enjoy your time away and thank you for leaving us with something to smile at! Happy new year! All the best to you!
Happy New Year to you as well! Thanks so much!
Nicely captured Sheryl. 🙂
Thank you, much appreciated!
Hope your hiatus goes well and I look forward to seeing you in my in-box in a few weeks time. Such a pretty aquilegia!
Thanks a million! 🙂

Wishing you all the best for 2017. Sounds as though you are being rushed off your feet already!
