The Aquilegias you can see there are ones I grew from my own seed off the Songbird A. Cardinal, I got very few as they are bred to keep flowering and make very little good seed. They are actually more robust than the original which has mostly died away, they most likely crossed with other older varieties and the height is increased but not too tall, they don't make much good seed either so they keep flowering forever.

You should have a few amongst your seeds Vi, it's time to get Aquilegia seeds in soon. I have been sowing so many seeds with the mild weather, a real bonus on time.

This was on 2nd June 06, probably will be earlier this year, everything was late last year. The path behind the Acacia tree and a Rhododendron, you can see some of the Petticoats Aquilegias there, all seed grown.
