Aquilegia atropurpurea and Aquilegia viridiflora

[Maggi Young]

Hey Rob, a very warm welcome to you!

I could watch these videos all day..... especially when we have  so much snow..... cheers me up!

The extremely long spurs are truly a beautiful feature..... so elegant. I must grow more of these columbines!

Hi Rob, what a wonderful collection of aquilegias.
I also like your cat, is it part siamese?
Really like your hybrids, especially the atrata x chrysantha and the ecalcarata hybrids.
Absolutely beautiful.

Rob, thank you so much for taking the time and effort of making a "living diagram" of columbines, so colorful, useful, and beautiful.  I have seedling plants of A. buergeriana in bloom now, persisting from plants grown about 15 years ago... they used to show more brownish purple coloration with the soft yellow, but these mostly soft yellow descendants are pleasing enough.

Hi! :-)

Thank you! I happy cause you like my work.
Your Aquilergia buergeriana seedling is very beautiful. Wonderful pictures!!!!
Two years ago, I had one which was very close to yours, but this year I only have plenty of the redish ones. This redish ones often flower till late autum. Its really amazing

Robert,
your web pages are superb. I'm a great fan of aquilegias. They should be grown in every garden.
