I agree - a marvellous selection Chuckles - I have only got the normal pink self seed ones - all my attempts at growing them has failed miserably....

You've got some gorgeous ones there Chuckles, I especially love the very pale pastel ones.

Thanks ladies, I was rather shocked at how many I had. The only one that is a known variety is Miss Huish which I grew from seed RF sent me about 3 yrs ago. That is the only one I've planted.  I've pulled up loads over the 30 years we've lived here, we all know they self seed like silly things and can become a pain. They must have cross pollunated that many times because there never were so many different shapes and shades. |

I thought we had an aquilegia thread! Last year Jilly sent me some milk and honey seeds and nothing came of the carefully nurtured first lot so I threw the left overs in a tub and they've spent the winter outside annd now I have one tiny little seedling!  Did you end up with any Jilly? |

Ithink I've got the Lady Kristall and the Lemon Aqualegia from Jasmine and Jilly, this year they're both up and I'm hoping for flowers.

Mine are all in pots at the moment as bunnies just love aquilegia so I've got to think carefully about where to put them.

I am expectantly waiting to see if I get any flowers on the 'pale' ones that I grew from seed Barbara sent me last year. Just watch them come up dark purple or summat  They are all growing away well x Tig |

It's amazing isn't it. I guess the highs make up for the lows...says the person who's had one Grumpy bulb munched clean away. |

I noticed yesterday that some of mine have put little leaves up not sure which they are though but they could be Chocolate Soldier as they are only small ones and they are in a window box.

If I recall Carolann the leaves on Chocolate Soldier are a bit different to the standard leaves, smaller and sort of more delicate. I'm hopeful that one I have in a pot is a Chocolate Soldier  |

Well done Jilly they are so delicate and pretty think I may have lost mine over the winter I thought I had some coming up but I'm not sure now will have to wait and see if the weather stops raining and I get time to have a good search.

These ones are Chocolate Soldiers Auricula, but they are all gorgeous. Carolann, I think I may have lost one or 2 in the border over winter, but I have got a container full that haven't been planted out yet. If you have lost yours, let me know & I'll return a few back home i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif Jillyx |

Oops sorry for the spelling mistake. Shame you can't see them Jasmine, my computer at work won't let me see some things either. Jilly some of mine are in bud but not yet blooming too. I'm delighted with them. ;D
