Aquilegia

Just bought this today - I've been on the lookout for an Aquilegia with these lovely leaf markings. The flower is dark purple and very double.

lol Jac - not at all! I know from growing other varieties from seed that they do not come very true from seed. So what I shall do is collect all the seed from this plant and sow it and hopefully a few of the offspring will show these markings and will have the double flowers. So it's probably better if I send you a plant rather than seeds when I've grown them, so you will defo get the right sort of plant. It's only got about 4 flowers/buds on, so there won't be that much seed this year. Should be much bigger and stronger next year. Hope you can wait that long! :-)
