Here are pictures of the Columbine plant. There's a red, and purple one. Again, these are good closeups.

A magnificent purple one.

I don't know what this plant stem is called, but it looks sturdy, and has many flower buds on it.

The stem     
An iris bud ..... well, a couple of them *s*     
This is what the flower will open up to look like. A truly beautiful flower for sure.
