CLEOME Of Mediterranean origin, this member of the caper family is easy to grow and definitely will make a statement, especially when planted in a mass. The species name, hasslerana, is after the plant collector Emile Hassler. The flowers of cleome are 6" to 8" across but because they are open and airy, they always look graceful. Though the leaves and stalks are sticky and thorny, cleome makes wonderful cut flowers. Plant them with cosmos to capture a Victorian atmosphere. |

COLUMBINE Aguilegia vulgaris Aquilegus is a Latin adjective meaning 'drawing water' and refers to the spurs where the flower nectar collects. Columbine refer to Colomba, the 'mistress of Harlequin', a farcical character in late Italian Renaissance theater.) Native to North America and to Europe the columbine is the symbol of folly, according to the language of flowers. The shape of the flowers is similar to the cap and bell of a court jester's hat. Giving this flower to a woman was considered bad luck |
