Hybrid Columbine

We believe we have found a hybrid Columbine… a combination between the Red Columbine and the Yellow Columbine.

Red Columbine (Aquilegia formosa) is one of my favorite wildflowers and common in most of Oregon.

Less common is the Yellow Columbine (Aquilegia flavescens).

We believe we have found a hybrid of the two species near Hat Point in NE Oregon’s Wallowa County.
