    Searching for pink flowers from Idaho but no match yet. I'm hoping users "wildflower" can help out, the best plants expert we got around here. Posted 11 years ago

      You know me, I just cannot resist the challenge...
      It is a strange perspective on a columbine (Aquilegia sp.) that puzzled me for a while. It is hard to tell which species it is though.       Posted 11 years ago

    Here is a link to another yellow columbine I found the same day. This one has white petals instead of pink.

The Yellow columbine

''Aquilegia flavescens'', the yellow columbine, is a wildflower native to mountain meadows, open woods, and alpine slopes of the Rocky Mountains from Utah north to British Columbia and Alberta.

The plant grows to 20–70 cm in height. While the most common flower color is yellow, portions of the flowers can also be yellow-pink, raspberry pink, white, and cream.
