Columbine

I'm a huge fan of Columbines. But - chez moi they seem to be very independent spirits that self seed rather randomly, generally popping up between paving stones and the like. At least I do usually have a plant or two somewhere! And their flowers point down, making them rather hard to photograph. I stuck the camera under this one, and as you can tell, the sun was pretty much right above/behind it which sort of made it translucent.
