Aquilegia Canadensis Subsp. Skinneri

Aquilegia canadensis subsp. skinneri is a rare and delicate member of the buttercup family known for its striking, spurred flowers. Native to the eastern United States, this subspecies thrives in woodland and shaded areas where it can access the moisture it needs to flourish. Its petals come in shades of pink, red, and white, creating a vibrant display in late spring and early summer. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its modest size and preference for quiet, undisturbed habitats. Understanding and protecting this plant is essential for preserving biodiversity in its native ecosystems.
