Thanks Margaret!

And thanks also for the info. on growing them. I first thought --- Oh Margaret is in Canada & those things will never grow all the way down here. Your info. above gives me hope. I have always loved Columbine. Now I have to go find some in the DB to put in my must have want list.

Your welcome Ann, glad you liked them so much and that the info was helpful.

I just remembered that the package of seeds was marked "Large European Blend", it also had a lovely pink in the mix.

Guess I should add a few photos to the DB.

Your columbine looks like Blackcurrant Ice or Oriental.

Thanks Dormantsrule.

Ann, Margaret had sent me some Columbine seeds a year ago and it was that variety and it did well here. It took a long time to get to the point it would bloom but it was gorgeous last spring then rebloomed for me even in our summer heat. I bet it would do well in Florida as well. It is still alive though a bit beat up after a long season.

That's great Linda, I'm sure it will give encouragement to those in warmer zones that would like to grow it.

Thanks Linda! That gives me real hope that it will do here; in fact I'm sure it will if it does in your area. YAY!

And I just love hummers & plants that hummers like.

Very pretty! I have a lot of columbines, especially in my iris beds. Such pretty flowers, and so easy to grow! Marilyn, you ought to check out some of the Winky line of columbines. They have several really stunning bicolors.

Thanks Angie. I have seeds for a lovely blue that my sis gave me this fall, I hope they grow as well as the other colors in my garden.

Sweet shot! Spring IS right around the corner!

Thanks Sue. Not for me I'm afraid, quite awhile to go yet.
