Tim: mine's out, how are your seedlings?

This is Aquilegia McKana hybrid and one of my favourite colourways.

Thanks, Sparkly.   :)  Yours sound like A.vulgaris but hard to know with out a photo and I'm certainly no expert!

Glad to hear it, Tim.  They might, time will tell.   ;D

Thanks, Manics.  Nice pics.   :)  How tall does giant yellow grow?  Might well be tempted.   ;D  I have a few yellows including this McKana which I really love.   :)

it says 2 to 3 feet, 'aquilegia chrysantha yellow queen', let me know, they're just in my seed stack 'til next year  :)

[Sparkly]

I love Aquilegias - mine (which are just the common ones, not the McKana Hybrids) self seed everywhere and this year I have a fantastic colour range.  The self seeded ones always seem to be much stronger plants than the ones I grow in trays/pots from self saved seed.

I had one that colour a few years ago but it only flowered the one year and disappeared.

Still waiting, Sparkly.   ;)

I think that's true of many self-seeded plants, Lavender.  If they come up unaided, I reckon they've found the conditions which suit them.   :)

I'll be saving seed Kea so happy to send you some if you want to try growing it again.   :)
