Allotments 4 All

Aquilegias have to be one of the best flowers for being tough as old boots and having a huge variety of colour and shape! Only trouble is I need to a bit of a cull each year to keep them in check but what the heck!

And nice to see Mr Bumble Bee getting a feed!

stunning sj :)

Aren't they beautiful. 

I have just rescued a few as we are digging up a border which is full of them all self seeded, but I know in a few years they will be back again.  We have to rebuild a wall and there is nothing for it but to dig them up.  Aqui will be cross with me I'm sure!  I feel quite sad but they are all self set so will be back, especially if I shake all the seed heads on the new border!

Perhaps if I buy a couple of the new pretty ones and add those too we will have even more permutations of colour and shape.

Superb, Jerry, I see I have a long way to go.

more for me! lovely Jerry. just lovely!

I'm having to start a bit of a cull. I feel terrible about it, but a few plants that aren't quite as lovely as the others are marked for removal. I also pinch off the finished flowers of my least favourite ones, hoping that the best ones will cross polinate and set seeds.

I just adore that bees love them so much. One bee last week just couldn't get enough of one of my plants.

Makes all of my common ones look rather sad, but I love them nevertheless!  ;D  Great pics as usual Jerry.
