Alice, thanks for correcting that. I went to my Audubon's Wildflowers of the Western Region and found the columbines.

Honey, I grew up with Columbine in my yard. My son sent me a picture of a Shooting Star recently from PA and they are different. Your picture is just as wonderful being Columbine as it would be a Shooting Star.

This flower is not a Shooting Star. I have corrected the title and ID
