How cool is this Iris? I love getting up close to flowers to see all the crazy details you usually miss. This bearded iris has these intense, deep burgundy petals with super intricate white and violet veining.

But the best part is definitely that fuzzy, golden-yellow “beard” right in the center—it almost glows! The soft, blurred background makes the flower really pop. It’s a moody, dramatic, and beautiful piece of nature that’s perfect if you love unique florals that make a statement

Aquilegia Canadensis from The Floral world and garden guide (1878)

THIS elegant but hardy perennial is, as its name implies, a native of Canada, where it usually grows about nine inches high ; but in this country, however, it generally attains the same size as the common Columbine, which it greatly resembles in the appearance of its leaves, though it differs in having its flowers of a different form and colour. It may be easily propagated by dividing the roots either in the autumn or the spring ; or it may be raised from seed, which it ripens in great abundance. In the latter case, however, the seeds should be sown as soon as they are ripe, as otherwise they will be a long time before they germinate. The very graceful, nodding, scarlet and orange flowers, which appear in April and. May, are nearly two inches in length, and on each pedicel there are two bracts, so near the flower as to have almost the appearance of a distinct green calyx.
