	Clarke Riedy: Thanks so much for the details. Your brushwork is melodic, each element is unique to its place in the design. Posted May 14, 2008 6:48am
	Julie_Huntsinger: That is most fascinating Marie Ancolie! I did not know Ancolie, meant Columbine!!! ha ha ha ha. Fascinating and wondrous! I sent you a little message about Columbine. It is a lovely flower easing the mind and heart to peace! A poem for you dear Bill: ( You probably know it already) Though mine eyes have the beauty Of the lilies & the glow Of the scarlet Flanders poppies Nodding gravely row by row, There's a flower in my homeland That the angels might entwine In their hair to give the lustre, Colorado's columbine. Though the sun sheds golden glory O'er the far flung hills at dawn, From a world azure & silver Are your lovely colours drawn From the great white peaks that tower And the glacial lakes below; From the deep blue sky above you & the pearly clouds aglow. Sweet columbine, sweet columbine Beneath the aspen & the pine You seem a gift from heav'n above; How fair you blow, like sky & snow, The spirit of the land I love, The flower of the State of mine, Sweet columbine, sweet columbine. -lyric by Edgar MacMechen, 1922 Posted May 14, 2008 10:14am

The Columbine is the state flower of Colorado. My two daughters are both flower designers at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver. They brought this one home recently.
