Beautiful collection! You should get some lovely colors from that flat, Scicciarella. As for the size of the columbine blooms, the McKana's are always amazing, but I think we get particularly big blooms here due to our climate. You can see from this picture how big the blooms are on my pink McKana.

Critter, I wish I knew the answer to your cross pollination question. I suppose it depends on what or how many are pollinating your plants, as well as how many blooms per plant they have to hop to and from. I know that the pink McKana has produced many volunteer seedlings and they seem to be much like the mother plant. It is some 6 ft from the nearest other columbine variety, but it also has many blooms to offer a bee.
