 taken off this year. I found this plant at a nursery in Lincoln, Nebraska
 (the nursery carries quite a few plants that the usual nurseries and garden
 centers don't. Wish I would have purchased more) I'll collect the seed.
 It'll be interesting to see what develops because this plant is a hybrid.

 Hi John,

Welcome back.

I grow the aquilegia that you mention. It is apparently a tough plant---I
forgot and left it in a clay pot last fall on our patio. It came back and is
now in bloom. The tag said:
"Woodside Variegated Columbine."

I have checked my books and the only thing I can surmise is that is PROBABLY
one of the Vervaeneana Group.

No matter the name----it is very fetching.
