Aquilegia coerulea

Colorado blue columbine usually blooms from mid-June to early August in the Colorado Rockies, with the best color from late June into mid-July. That's the only region we track it in so far — the ladder below shows where it falls in the year.

Each rung is one region's usual window; the deeper stretch is its best weeks. A rung lit violet is in bloom right now. Based on reports from iNaturalist naturalists.
