Hi Guys
What is this lovely large Aquiligia my wife and I spotted when we were looking around one of the National Trust Gardens?

It actually looks like a Poppy growing through an Aquilegia. ???
Lovely colour ;D
'Aquilegia glandulosa looks the same shape but it is blue. Classed as rare. I wouldn't mind acouple of those. They are really beautiful
Now thats a surprise. I havent heard of them. Yes they are pretty ;D
I think it could be a poppy of sorts ;) I have ordered some Aquilegia glandulosa seeds as they look fab too!
I think these are the closest poppy I can find so far is Lilac Papaver somniferum.
ask in the national trust shop/plant sales if they hadn't one for sale they might have been able to give you the name
I think they could be Tulips growing through the Aquilegias. I can certainly see Tulip leaves...

Are tulip stems usually green and thicker than those pictured?

It's hard to tell from the photo but I think that the centres certainly look more like Tulips than Poppies or Aquis and some of the stems look thicker than others...
I agree, looks like tulips growing through the aquilegia foliage....you can see the much smaller still closed aquilegia flowers if you blow the pic up a bit...
It's a mystery.
Perhaps if someone can find tuilps like the blooms in the photo we you will have cracked it. ;)
