There are lots of self seeded Aquilegias in my garden but I think this is the prettiest one :)
It’s growing in an old sink …

Beautiful. I have a similar coloured one but it is looking a bit tatty. One of my favourite plants.

Yes, it is nice.I,particularly like blue flowers.
My aquilegia (new this year) really haven't done well at all .Looking very tatty ....maybe the cold or the wet soil, not sure.

That's a beauty. This year I have a couple of dwarf ones - (the flowers are huge) The label on the one new this spring says its not winter hardy, which I didn't notice when I bought it, it was just so beautiful I couldn't resist it. But the other one did come through the winter - may not be so lucky in a colder one.

It's a pretty one Hywel. I love the way they seed themselves around the garden.

And Grannie's Bonnet is a good name. The women working on the Canal Boats wore bonnets exactly like it. I suppose they made them by hand.

I found quite a few seedlings, think they have come from my neighbours garden, I am looking forward to seeing what colour they turn out to be. I have one in the herbaceous border at the back.
I have been banned from the garden for the last couple of days, caught OH's cold, so have been coughing and sneezing away. Hopefully it is on its way out. I hope so we have a funeral to go to on Monday.
