Purple Bells

These delicate, royal-purple bells hung gracefully against the backdrop of the majestic Patterson house below a brilliant blue sky. Really, they were quite a treat! Columbines aren’t easy to grow, and the plants in this garden were very large. We were actually given a couple purple columbine plants this year, and having four little flowers was a real success!! The little bells on the blossoms are so delicate—it seems like some exotic flower!
