Hanging red petals encompass the center of a Western Columbine blossom seen hanging over an alpine hemlock branch along the edge of a stream in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Atop the hanging petals, red spurs with yellow rounded tips stand erect in the summer sunlight as the partially open bud begins to take shape.
The Western Columbine is a perennial plant which grows to be between 2 and 3 feet high and about 18 inches in width. Flowering during the spring and into the early months of summer, the Western Columbine is an extremely showy type of flower which beautifies the wilderness of Alaska.
Hummingbirds, bees and butterflies are attracted to the Western Columbine as it has a good source of nectar while finches, sparrows and small types of birds prefer to eat the seeds. The flowers on the Western Columbine can be eaten by humans as well as animals, but if the seeds are digested by humans, they can be fatal.
