Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)Columbine has intricate red and yellow bell-like flowers with unique, backward-pointed nectar tubes. Columbine provides an early-season food source for hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and hawk moths, all of whom eat its nectar, but is fairly deer resistant.
Native American groups historically used different parts of the plant for a variety of ailments including as a wash for poison ivy. Pulverized seeds were rubbed on hands by men as part of a courting ritual.
