Author Garden: Hybrid Columbines (Aquilegia) Bill The Garden Helper Member # 1 posted                       I have twenty one Columbines (at least) growing in my gardens on Cedar Hill. Fourteen of them are distinctly different. Some of them are named varieties, but the majority of them are hybrids that evolved here in the gardens by cross pollination and subsequent self seeding. If possible I will identify the particular variety, otherwise you can just consider them to be Cedar Hill hybrids! I hope that you enjoy seeing them all!

Gigi Seeded: 24.49.115.46 tkhooper Official Blabber Mouth Member # 4875 posted                       I like them all! And of course I want them all. But I have no place to put them all. So I'll try to get a couple more to go with the two I have and hope that at least one of them is that fairyland type.

I believe Columbines may be my favourite flower. Well... Lady's Slippers are right up there too. lol I'm a fairly new gardener and discovered them quite by accident a few years ago. I picked one up at a local greenhouse and had no idea what a delicate, strong and beautiful flower I had come across. Wow! I live in a cold climate (Zone 3a in Alberta, Canada) and it's a challenge sometimes finding what will work best. Mine are just about to open so things happen a little later here. I had no idea there were so many varieties though until I looked at your photos! Now I'm going to hunt some more down. THANKS!

Got some Mckana seeds from someone on ebay. made my first memorial garden. For the kids that lost their lives. well, after I saw how wonderful they were. it became an obsession? to find each and every kind there are. Did pretty well too. Then. we just moved a month ago. So. I am trying to gather them all up. Cant leave them behind. they will be orphans.

I love the pic of the red one (that actually looks more orange to me)... * * * * Happiness, like a dessert so sweet.

I collected the seeds all season long and kept them in a box. (There were a LOT of seeds in that box!) Just before I packaged them I mixed them well. Hopefully, (in theory anyway) that will give you a large collection of all the different colors I have, plus a new hybrid or two.... * * * * Plants: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Seeded: 4.243.45.211 4Ruddy Wild Woman Member # 2322 posted                       Well...I am SO excited to see what comes up! You know, gardening in itself is a great joy...but when you can walk out in your garden and say...this plant came from my frind in Florida, this flower came from Cedar Hill, this one came from my friend in Kentucky..and Georgia..and ..and on & on......it just brings a whole new sentimental value to the wonderful miracle the garden already offers! * * * * Happiness, like a dessert so sweet.
