New arrival . . . Aquilegia for Terratoonie

While strolling round the garden with a friend, we came across this lovely "pale grey" Aquilegia among the Silene (red Campion) - which was new to me!

What a pretty mingle Sheila. I have silene, flowers for ages, but have to keep digging out roots too. Still, a welcome plant and very reliable. I believe aquilegias are very promiscuous, so it will be interesting to see if it comes true from seed:-))

Yes, Ba, we can but hope!

I know aquilegias are very promiscuous Bornagain!!
I planted some pink ones years ago and none since, but I still get all sorts self seeding. I have a similar one to Sheilabub's grey-tinge and some very pale bluey lilac ones.
The plants do very well though, mostly coming up year after year.

Shirlwhirl, I bought a couple of beauties from Malvern a few years ago, nowhere to be seen:-( Still I do have some lovely ones..... gifts from the birds no doubt:-))

Thanks Lynda.

Btw, I did save seed and it has germinated, so I have a few seedlings growing in the cold frame - hurray :))
