Double Pink Columbine

Super sweet, like an old fashioned frilly bonnet.

VERY beautiful.

I've never seen a pink columbine, let alone a double pink!

It might be 'Nora Barlow'. It's a lovely flower.

Thanks! I think these are too pale for Nora Barlow…I have clouds of Columbine that have all interbred with each other and made crazy new colors and shapes

I guess I should've said Barlow series. There are quite a few, and you have some really lovely ones that look similar. Rose Barlow might be the lighter pink one?

It could be! But as I said, they've been on the Hill, intermingling for years and every year they come up with new colors and surprises.

In general I'm not a fan of doubled columbines, but your pretty pink ones have won me over.

Thank you Arturo and Elizabeth! Arturo, if you are growing a few, you will soon be growing many, they self seed like crazy. I only planted a few to start with myself. These did it all by themselves.
