Aquilegia fosteri, or Foster’s Columbine, is known for its striking red sepals and long, red-spurred petals with yellow blades at the center. This species, found primarily in higher elevations of Zion National Park, features vibrant coloration and distinct flower structure, with its pendant flowers often showing long spurs. Foster’s Columbine typically grows in the hanging gardens and streams of the park’s canyons and is known to hybridize with Aquilegia chrysantha. It disperses seeds to the canyon bottoms, where successful germination can lead to hybridization with other species.
