I recently bought a copy of PLANTS FROM THE PAST by Stuart and Sutherland,
a book about about the historical use of various plants, mostly perennials.
Among the other plants discussed is the clematis-flowered columbine, which
is pictured on the cover. These are supposed to be derived from A.
caerulea and formly were found in blue, white and pink, although the blue
form is lost to antiquity. I was immediately struck with plant lust,
although I normally prefer the "wild" form columbines. Does anyone know of
a seed source for these plants either in North America or Britain, or if
they won't come reasonably true from seed, a Canadian source for the
plants?
