  Aquilegia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Aquilegia appear well adapted to dry conditions, having a thick fleshy main root that will grow downwards to find water as the moisture content at the surface of the border disappears.
Aquilegias are familiar cottage garden favourites, their subtle charm adding an air of elegant femininity to borders.
I have always grown Aquilegia in my many gardens, and feel that my garden is incomplete if I do not have one or two plants to carry the flowering season through from the end of the spring flowering bulbs and until the later flowering plants of summer come into their own.

Aquilegia canadensis is one of the few flowers that knew as a child - it grew in a garden just beyond our back door, at the bottom of a steep slope in the shade of an old purple lilac.
Virtually all Aquilegia species are plagued by leaf miners, tiny insects that devour the soft interiors of the leaves, leaving the tougher outer layers intact.
Potted specimens of Aquilegia canadensis are now fairly easy to find in larger garden centres, or you can easily start your own plants from seed sown in pots or directly into the garden.

 Aquilegia in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
Columbine, ancolie [derivation disputed; possibly Greek aqua, water, and legere, to draw or collect, because of the wet habitat of some species or quantity of liquid nectar borne in spurs, or Latin aquila, eagle, because of similarity in shape of curved spurs of some European species to an eagle's talons]
Species of Aquilegia are polymorphic and difficult to define adequately.
In arid areas Aquilegia species tend to form small populations often completely isolated from one another.

 Aquilegia canadensis, Wild Columbine
Aquilegia, from the Latin, aquilinum, "eagle like", because the spurs suggested the talons of an eagle to Linnaeus; OR, from the Latin word for "water collector," alluding to the nectar in the spurs of its petals.
Ranunculus is Latin for "a little frog", the name applied by Pliny the Elder (23-79 A.D.) to a group of plants in this family that grows where frogs abound.

 Current Research: Aquilegia
These species have very different floral forms and we have previously shown that they are primarily pollinated by different species (Fulton and Hodges 1999).
Aquilegia is a prime example of a rapid radiation of species after the evolution of nectar spurs (Hodges and Arnold 1994, 1995).
As another test of whether differences between species of Aquilegia in floral traits affects reproductive isolation, we are studying mating patterns in hybrid zones between Aquilegia formosa and A.

 VNPS 1998 Plant of the Year - Wild Columbine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Aquilegia is a Latin word of uncertain origin; probably, it was derived from aquilegus, meaning "water collector," in allusion to the fluid at the base of the petal's spur, but perhaps from aquila, an eagle, because the spurs suggested the talons of an eagle to Linnaeus.
In the wild or in the garden, this widely distributed, singular beauty of rocky woodlands and cliffs ranks high in Virginia's treasury of native wildflowers.
In the United States and Canada, 18 genera and over 250 species are indigenous; especially notable genera are Anemone (anemones and windflowers), Aquilegia (columbines), Clematis, Delphinium (larkspurs), Ranunculus (buttercups), and Thalictrum (meadow-rues).

 Aquilegia - Columbine, Perennials Guide to Planting Flowers
It is called Columbine, some say, because the flowers appear like the cap of a court jester; others have suggested that the spurs of the flowers cause them to appear like a ring of doves (Colombo) about a dish.
And its name Aquilegia, is it from agui legus, to draw water, or from aquila, an eagle?
Both derivations would be apt, for the Aquilegia appears to draw water from the rocks upon which it grows in the wild and the shape of the flower suggests the talons of an eagle.
