Beautiful flower and beautiful poem!
Beautiful flower columbine fulfills its duty by the oath as well as the healing promise:
* Columbine is said to have been used as a natural remedy by the Native Americans. They used Columbine-infused tea to heal everything from fever to heart tension to poison ivy pain.
* Native Americans used the flowers of many columbine species as a seasoning with other leafy greens. They were considered exceedingly sweet and harmless if ingested in modest amounts.
