I had a great hike in the Clifton gorge today, along with my good friend Gerd. Lucky for me that I had him with me because he spotted this Red Columbine (aquilegia columbine – Canadensis – Another friend had to help me identify it). I'm pleased to have seen it because we were a week too late to see any trillium or blue bells in the gorge. There is always next year.
