Old Fashioned Columbines

I love Columbines  They self seed and are easy to grow. They come in all colors and a bonus is bees and humming birds love them.
Above are just a few from my garden. They look fake or fabric but they are real.
Also known as Jesters Hat, Lions Herb, and Granny Bonnet.
They are poisonous.
According to folklore they are used to encourage Courage. They are used in love spells.

    I love the name Jesters Hat and Lions Herb, although I guess they look more like Granny Bonnets. Poisonous? How interesting! And I could add them in a potion of heroism in a D&Dr game.
