Purple Flower Photo: Aquilegia 'Biedermeier' Columbine

Purple Columbine Flower Photo By Aquariann

After exploring the Statuary Vista at Norfolk Botanical Gardens and discovering columbine flowers at the base of a seven-foot tall Cararra marble statue carved by Sir Moses Ezekiel, I literally did my first cartwheel in years. Not only did I get to finally see my first pink columbine flowers in person, but these pretty purple ones were planted beside them.

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, I suggest adding it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

    Hi Kristin! Thanks for featuring my flowers this week!

    I'm happy you got to see Aquilegia in person. Aren't they gorgeous? I love your new icon associated with it!

    I followed you on Twitter, FB, Google + and Pinterest! I can't believe I hadn't done it sooner.

    Thanks again for the feature. :) I will probably have flowers in some post on my blog each week. There are just so many beautiful ones around!

    Have a great weekend and thanks again!

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time!
