I am finding this thread very interesting.Here are a couple of pics of seedlings of mine.Aquilegia saximontana seedlingAquilegia jonesii x saximontanaLastly, an A. flabellata bought from a nurseryI don't know what the first three actually are but I like them a lot.
Mark, I'm not at all sure that the first two are flabellata. I have lots of those and they all grow into a lovely little mound, these ones are only about half the height of the flabellata and the leaves look different. If they flower at the same time next year I will have a really good squizz at them.
I refer again to McMark's scan of the drawings.... and to the two plants shown..... the last looks like a saximontans but the first two pictures are surely, by his reasoning, laramiensis?
Great Moravian...... I can see what you mean to say.... but the photos you show are displaying a different meaning to the one I understand of paralllel, for a start....... parallel means being the same distant apart along the length......
Despite I am a mathematician, I don't expect plants to be geometric objects. All terms in botany are merely approximate.
I am not certain which image should depict A. laramiensis.
