The columbines are so beautiful. I have mostly blue ones, so that is quite a treat to see.

I love the columbine with the peony. Nice juxtaposition.

The the second shot, the white peony with the yellow and red columbines, is gorgeous. Great texture and composition!

How long do they take to bloom? I planted some last autumn, but moved them early this spring. They're pretty tiny and didn't bloom. I was hoping they'd take this year because I won't be living here next year.

but they bloomed the year I planted them, if I remember right, or at least the next year. That being said, I have this other one that didn't bloom for almost 10 years, then suddenly started blooming last year and this year has 12 buds on it.

The one thing I did different was put bone meal around it. You might try that. Also they like a fair amount of sun.
