(Indiana USA) Just showing off because my columbine went nuts this year! One of my favorite flowers, wonderful in part shade, easily spreads around via seed.

I have 2 nonnative cultivars (the blue and the frilly pink), 1 wild type red native Aquilegia canadensis (sad, lonely, I need to get it more friends), and the purple is a gorgeous cross of the red and the blue that happened by accident!! Very cool to see.

Anyway show me your columbine

    I don’t have columbine pics but the frilly pink ones are so pretty and unique; haven’t seen columbines like that. Thanks for sharing!

    One of my very favorites. They’re magnificent. I also see you have leaf miners. Luckily they don’t hurt the flowers.

    Those are gorgeous, OP!

    I used to have some in the “woodland” part of my yard, but eventually the deer pressure got to be too much.

    I want a double pink… I have 2 purple, a white, a pale yellow.

    I have little green worm looking guys that eat all their leaves, so alas I have zero columbine anymore.

    If the deer don’t eat mine in the PNW, will try. But we call then lawn dogs b/c they are prolific. And eat everything. 🙄

    Natural crosses are the best garden surprises! That accidental purple one sounds like a total gem.
