It seems basal to the division... --Dan Bolser (talk) 21:46, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see, it's neither an asterid or a rosid, but is (eu)dicotyledonous. --Dan Bolser (talk) 21:59, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems scientific sources prefer to use the name "Aquilegia coerulea". What's leading in this? Refs: https://phytozome.jgi.doe.gov/pz/portal.html#!info?alias=Org_Acoerulea and http://www.eol.org/pages/398963/names/synonyms

IPNI has an explanation. Looks like it should probably be A. coerulea. Plantdrew (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this webpage where it is claimed that there was a vote by school children in 1891 that selected the state flower. This has been repeated in many other websites and news articles, but I found the June 1917 National Geographic had an article titled Our State Flowers that says the opposite that somehow it was a vote by the school children in 1911 that overruled the designation of "white and lavender" with "white and blue", which does not make sense to me since blue and lavender are so close. Both articles have the same vote totals 22,316 votes cast, 14,472 in favor of the columbine. Other articles have other year dates as well and while National Geographic is more likely to be correct than some random website, I have questions about the accuracy of the article and would like to see other sources that agree with them like newspapers from 1911. So if there are questions as to why this information is not in the article, that's the explanation. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 23:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
