I think my semiaquilegia is a weed

18 years ago

Does the foliage resemble that of columbine? I have one seedling about 2 inches tall and it looks nothing like columbine.

Yes, from what I recall, it should look like an aquilegia and even the first true leaves should have some divisions. Disappointing, where did the seed come from?

Sigh:-( I got the seed from NARGS. I think I'll let it grow and see what it turns out to be. Yes, it is disapointing.
