Double Aquilegia 'Blue Barlow'

Lovely colour they are so elegant, I have found a new shaped one in my garden this year, must take a picture and put it up.

Isn't it amazing how they just 'appear'!

This is a beauty...

This is nice, and a much prettier colour than the species purple I think.

Yes, it is a good colour Tetrarch. However, I think I may have overdone the blue in my garden. Could do with some other colours coming out...not long now until the roses start though!

My Pat Austin and Lady Hillingdon have been spouting flowers all week, but they are in more sunshine than my pots which are all in fat bud, so guess they must be at the same level as yours Karen. There is no doubt that the ones in sunshine, pot or ground, flower sooner than those which dont get the sun til afternoon...trite statement I suppose..but Ive really noticed it this year.

Yes, I guess that must be true Tetrarch. Some of mine are beginning to show colour on their buds, but I think we are still a week away from flowers...as you say, much depends on how much sunshine we get over the next few days!
