Author Message   Mike_in_chicago  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Saturday, May 19, 2007 - 09:06 am EST :    I've had plants from A. vulgaris, that short blue aquilegia I posted on earlier, A. clematiflora (which was a dark purple) and A. 'Pink Barlow'. Within the last few years, what's come up has been an interesting mix, especially this one. This is a pretty good version of Pink Barlow (this is not from named seed, but from my own open-pollinated plant): Then this one, which I posted about last year. I assume it has some A. clematiflora in it: I'm not sure how I feel about this one, perhaps a bit too red for me? I posted this one previously. I assume it's A. vulgaris, but the only really dark purple one I had was the single A. clematiflora: I'm reposting it to compare it to its obvious cousin. Similar color, but with nodding blooms, and an almost shiny color: It's had this purplish variegation on some of its leaves, even last year as a non-blooming plant: Finally, good ol' A. vulgaris, always a spring showstopper: Finally, does anyone know what this is? I'm assuming it's an aquilegia, but it has much thicker leaves than the usual, and they're a shiny, bright green. If no one knows, I'll try the Identify This Plant gallery: [I'm happy to share seeds if anyone wants, by the way] Mike_in_chicago - Chicago, IL, Zone "5b"   Astrid  Posted on Sunday, May 20, 2007 - 10:00 am EST :    Hi Mike. Love the colours. I don't know what te last 2 pics. are, but the leaves looks like Aquilegia-leaves to me also. I love the "to" red one.

It's a cloudy day and I can't seem to get the yellow stamens not to glow fluorescently, but you get the idea.

I love that first pic and that dark purple one is a real winner.

Would like to be able to find some A. clematiflora seed.
