Re: weather - columbines
Melody, The flowers of columbines are of 3 natural kinds (I think).
Spurred, spurless, and granny's bonnet. Besides that, selection of natural
oddities and tinkering by hybridists has yielded doubles of all sorts. The
best way to describe the differences is to look at photos. Here are some:
Typical spurred columbine:

and

Granny's Bonnet:
http://snipurl.com/6em8
Spurless:

Doubled:

There's a lot ov variety in Columbines. A fairly recent issue of TAG had a
marvelous article on them and I think Marge has an article on them, too.
