Don't eat the Aquilegia!

There are about 60-70 species of Columbines (Aquilegia).  I collected seeds from several different places several years ago and now I have an amazing variety of colors and sizes that come up all over the yard.  I took these two photos in my back yard yesterday morning.

According to the Wikipedia article you certainly don't want to eat columbines as they can be very toxic.  I will stick with my Nasturtiums for snacking!
