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! ย 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!

    Nice. Not sure I’ve ever seen one that colour. Happy new year, Sheryl!

    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.
