Aquilegias

The flower garden would not be the same without these gems sprinkled across it. There are so many sorts growing there. Here are just a few. I hope they brighten-up your day as they do mine... it is gray, windy and pouring down rain here at the moment.

 

Holy Toledo!!!!! those are beautiful. Thank you Sjoerd.

I think but i'm not sure, but i think there is some of those from the 4th pic growing here infront of uncles house,, but i'm not sure,, if not it sure looks like it.

Thank you Sjoerd, those are beautiful.

 

Very pretty Sjoerd. I like all the differant colors. But the flowers themselves I don't think I've seen before. To me they look like colorful shooting stars. Thanks for sharing.

 

Petunia...Do you know columbines?--it's that family.

 

OUTSTANDING shots....are you a professional? I want your camera.....LOL. When I tend to make my pictures larger...they are blurry and I am thinking it is because the camera is only a 5 megapixel..? Am I correct? Have a great day and keep sharing those beautiful pictures.

 

Oh yess! I do like aquilegia a lot! I let mine self-seed. It's fun to see what I might get. I hope you don't mind my sneaking in some of my own photos, Sjoerd?

I lucked out with "Nora Barlow", here are two of the babies:





This one has variegated leaves. The flowers are less interesting:



A couple of small ones:





And some tall ones:

 

I LOVE THEM!!!! I bought some seeds last summer and sprinkled them on the shady side of my house. Sure hope they grow!

Beautiful pics. I have not been successful with my columbines. i would love to have those powerful colors in my garden

 

I have had success growing Columbine in this yard and after looking at those photos, I think I need to get more!
I just LOVE the black one, and the darker blue one. Who am I kidding, I love them all! And Droppy I've never seen blooms quite like your Nora Barlow babies.

 

I have never seen them before .Just beautiful pictures and I must try to find some of those.

 

Just found the pictures of my Columbine.
Here's a pink double bloom with Flag Iris

And the Blue I found growing under the Rhubarb

 

Wrennie, they are adorable! Are they minis? Love your pink pompoms too Netty. Is the blue one small? It looks like Aquilegia flabellata nana.

 

Thanks for all your nice comments, folks... and more importantly...thanks for your additions. Your fotos are very nice. Such beauties you have.
