(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

Red Columbine, east of metro Atlanta GA USA. Native to GA USA but probably planted by prior owner. Now growing everywhere in the yard/forest.

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.
I’m itching to post but mine are still in bud sate. Few more days. Beautiful collection you have.
These are some of my favorite flowers. Just seem so hard to grow though!
These are gorgeous!! My columbines barely bloomed this year 😭 zone envy is real rn lol
Oh those columbine are gorgeous!

From last year (snow on the ground currently…) This is a volunteer that is some kind of hybrid between a pink petticoat variety and one of the many others in my garden, but definitely my current favorite.

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 only have a couple so far!

Think we may have thrown these seeds in our wildflower patch last year? This is the first year they’ve come up!
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. 🙄
I love the variety!

Natural crosses are the best garden surprises! That accidental purple one sounds like a total gem.
None yet. I saw the buds coming up today though!!
I’ve never seen those doubled style! Wow!
