For this #wildflowerwednesday, we’ll be highlighting one of the most iconic blooms out there - the Colorado Columbine! Elected by schoolchildren as the state flower in late 1800s, the Colorado Columbine is part of the buttercup family and blooms at montane, sub-alpine, and alpine elevations. Hoping to find a few columbines on your visit to Crested Butte? Check out the aptly named Columbine trail at CBMR! Photos: taylorahrn #bewild #crestedbutte
