Bill, I have a lot of columbines... my granny had them and I got some seed from the purple ones and they are soooooooooo prolific here, you could almost classify them as weeds!! No lie!!! I am highly disappointed that I never got the pink ones from her because when I see the purple ones I think of her on a daily basis. But as I had posted in some posts, I had fired my husband from weed~whacking because for 3 years in a row, I had a columbine from the property that I was trying to see what color the flower was.... When it finally bloomed the 4th yr it was pink!!! I was tickled pick because I thought maybe my granny had sent them to me. and since others on the property that I was watching came out almost a real pale pink. And an older gentlemen that gardened here in town had some dark burgandy colored ones and I had never saw that color and I got some send from him and I have those now, Also got an "nora barlow" (that's a pink and white blend) and it's so pretty, quite different from the form that are the other colors and shape. And also a miniture purple and white that's quite cute. I had the yellow and white McKenna variety, but somehow, they didn't like it here and never reseeded for me..... The yellow was a nice color addition for me.... They are such a delicate flower, but I think quite dilagent. I will have some of those seed to pass on, I know had to how to havest those. Did you take the picture? Well, I guess obviously you did, do you know the name? Is there a side view? The ones I have are a trumpet shape and some are doubles, the nora barlow is all frilly on the inside. I'm curious about the stamins in the middle on your picture. Side view possible???????? Weezie
