I'm at my parents' for the Easter holidays. The weather is wonderful - sunny and warm - and the garden has changed so much since I was last here four weeks ago - all the trees are green, and the foliage seems to change the whole shape and layout.
Lots of flowers and blossoms, too - it wasn't easy to decide which one to post. I finally decided on the columbine. The name is derived from "columba" - Latin for "dove", because of the shape of the petals; and I think that in this photo you can see very nicely how the flower looks like a group of doves sitting together and having a chat. :D
Hobby, I never knew about the resemblance to the dove, but now I see it. Lovely photo. :D Enjoy your family for the holiday.

So that's why it's called a columbine! Good to know.
