There's some in Stormhaven and Rivenspire but its sparse. Some people say there's more plants in Craglorn than other zones but I haven't verified.
Best way to find columbine is to look for something else. Or decide that for the next hour your are going to focus on questing and not gather any mats. You'll trip over them.

I believe Columbine is in Colorado somewhere.

Can we all just stop and talk about the crazy wizard fertilizer it must have taken to get the flowers in Cyrodiil 4 damn feet tall.
From my experience. there are four types of harvesting nodes for alchemy: Mushroom nodes, nirnroot nodes, water hyacinth nodes, and the rest.
Mushroom nodes only spawn mushrooms, nirn and hyacint only spawn their respective plant, and the final type can contain any of the remaining flowers.
So basically, anywhere you see a lady's smock, wormwood, bugloss, mountain flower etc. etc, there could be a columbine spawned next time you pass by, provided you or someone else picked up the flower currently blocking the node and gave it a chance to respawn.
Morale of the story: pick up all flowers you come across. If you only pick the good flowers and let the bad ones there blocking the node, there will be less and less good flowers to pick.
