Columbine Basket Blooms Prefused Laser Kit

In 1891 Colorado school children voted the Rocky Mountain Columbine their favorite flower in an overwhelming landslide. The Colorado General Assembly ratified the official state flower designation in 1899. Considered a rare and delicate state flower, the General Assembly enacted legislation prohibiting uprooting on public lands; limiting gathering of blossoms and buds to 25 per day; and no picking Columbines on private land without landowner consent. At the time of passage violations were a misdemeanor carrying a fine not less than $5 nor more than $50.
