I have 3 Aquilegias named McKana Hybrid,2 are identical and the 3rd is completely different.I need to research which is the real thing. They are both beautiful though. Two of the three look like this: Aquilegia McKana Hybrid ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) Or is this?

I enjoyerd seeing your flowers so much. My Verbena's are blooming now as well. In fact, they never died back this winter. I find the blooms so lovely.
Every thing looks so beautiful in your garden. If you find a gray haired weird looking gnome out there in the far back don't be afraid, it's just me enjoying the view.
Thank you Sjoerd,I'm glad you enjoyed my garden. I had 3 plants last year but I think one may have died-probably too much rain Cheryl,thank you and the strawberries are delicious. We're eating them for breakfast with the muesli and as a dessert with cream after dinner. Thank you Toni,shall I save a spot for you?
The Aquilegia hybrids look right to me. They do come in all sorts of colour combinations. Sadly they do tend to self seed all over the place and the seedlings are often a lot smaller flowered.
Netty, not only beautiful for the eyes but it has the most wonderful scent.I wish I knew what it was called Isn't it,CM,and again with a lovely spicy-ish aroma.Sadly though the rain and high winds we have had means it gas all gone again for another year.
Hi Karin,..lovely Aquilegias,..they do put on a great show,..and full of surprises with cross breeding,..the bonus is self seeding and easy to move young plants to another location. Nice spiky looking Dianthus,..i love the scent of them,..ah great picture of the Amaryllis,..i can well understand you skipping breakfast to get that back lit shot,..beautiful bloom.
