Not so Nitty Nora

That is lovely Muddy

Started off with that one years ago because I liked it, now I have about twenty different semi double and double and all shades,nice though

lol Great name!

And promiscuous too . . . as Bjs says, as she crosses with other Aquilegia's and seeds herself around the garden, you never know how they're gonna turn out.
But that's half the fun right? :-))

Brill name Muddy.

that really is a beauty

Thank you ladies :-)

That is the name we gave to our 'nit' nurse at school! Lol

pretty - we also have these

I wondered what my one was called Muddy, and now you have enlightened me my friend. It is such a gorgeous Aquilegia, and like you, I am more than happy that it self seeds..Beautifully photographed too if I may say so..\0/x

how do you corss breed them? jut put mixed seeds together?

I also have this one Muddy...But she has finished flowering for this year...:>)

It's all come flooding back Grandmage . . . that metal comb and the glass of white liquid - line up now . . happy days lol!
Thanks Paul and Flori.
The Birds and the Bees Pixi . . . well just the Bees really! Although I imagine you could have a go yourself with a small paint brush - and I know you've got one of those! ;-)
Hi Moti - yes my one has gone over now, but I'm waiting for the seed to mature. If you cut them to the ground, will they flower again?

These are everybodies summer favourites ,they are so pretty and look English country garden :o)

Spot on Amy - you gotta love 'em.

Love Nora Nitty or Nutty, it is a lovely aquilegia. I agree she does cross pollinate very easily but it is so exciting seeing all the different variations that you can get.

Lovely to see your pics again!

Great pic - Lovely flower!

Oh yes of course lol! :)

That was my mum's name. Very pretty it is too. whatever I plant of named Aquilegia, never ever, ever comes up again. I got the most fab white one and it was so lovely. Never seen again at the GC or in my border.

Dorjac, I had a plant of Aquilegia fragrans last year with a Honeysuckle-like scent and white flowers - alas it disappeared. But if I see it again I will give it another try.
Have you got a new avatar Lil? . . . looks like you're getting younger as I get older! Nice one. ;-)

Ahem!!
Not sure if you are being a cheeky monkey or a smooth talker Mark! Have you not heard.....50 is the new 30?
;)))

In that case I'm 36 with 56 year old knees . . lol!!!

LOL :)))

You've changed it again! . . . I'm Mr Boring, not changed mine in years . . .hahaha

This one is current, taken last night. Hope you approve ;)
Besides, it is a woman's perogative ;)

Like this

Very nice Lil . . . changed mine too - in fact I may do it more often! ;-))
Thanks Carol - did you ever visit Catforth Gardens?

No but i'll put it on my list then if ever there is a coach trip i'll book it in.

I approve Mark, a change is good every so often :)
You should read my 'Enough Already' blog, something like that. Dare you, though I do believe I have seen a pic of you with your dad??

I love it!
