About this postcard

A close view of blue-and-white columbine blossoms on slender stems rising in front of pale aspen trunks, with soft green foliage behind. The Rocky Mountain columbine (Aquilegia coerulea) is Colorado's state flower, and the card pairs it with the quaking aspen, the high-country tree whose white bark and shimmering leaves are icons of the Colorado mountains. The caption names the flowers and trees directly, and the number 15770 is a publisher's view number.
