Common columbine

(Aquilegia vulgaris)

The nectar value of the Common Columbine is high, the pollen value moderate. The nectar is hidden deep inside the flower, therefore it is only accessible for bumblebees with long proboscis. Those with a short proboscis sometimes bite off the floral spur in order to reach the nectar.

As part of the educational initiative "Biodiversity and Environmental Education", a green lawn was transformed into a colourful, species-rich garden on this site by the pupils of the Längenfeld Primary School and Middle School Nature Park Schools.
