    Have a new one blooming now. Can't remember the name of it, but it is sure a looker! This is one that we bought last year.

    That was with super Macro. Here it is with just the regular lense.

    My Blue ones are almost done for this blooming, but they should bloom again, later in the summer. But they were sure loaded this time. I think they got rain, right when they needed it.

    OO I love them both but especially blue ones. Mine are just beginning to show signs of life again so should be blooming shortly.

    Mine have buds on, but I doubt I will see flowers for another week or 2.

    I'm like EJ--mine won't be out for another 2-3 weeks I suspect, especially with this very cold weather we're having at the moment. Burrrrrrr.

    This specimen really is a looker. I like for them to pop-up wherever they seed themselves out to. The more they cross-pollinate, the better.

    Great fotos, mate.

    Those are really pretty. That looks like the Aquilegia 'Winky Double Red and White' (Columbine)
    I picked up one and the 'Winky Double Blue and White' on the sale table at Lowes last week.

    Wow those are just beautiful. I miss Colorado (state flower is columbine). I grew up there and we had wild columbines all around our yard. I say wild because we never planted one. I think they are one of my favorites. Great pictures.
