Mine finally started blooming last week!! I love them. I was going to add these to Rita's thread, but I cannot find it!
Not sure where this colour came from, but I like it! Must be a new hybrid! 
This is a dehybridization of Magpie. 
This looks like MusicMix that WoodyOak was asking about! 
This is Magpie.  Nora Barlow in that centre.
And, for something completely different:

| Those are very pretty. I especially like the red one. kay |

| very nice Nancy. First photo I think is that of an origami columbine. The last photo - the iris -- does it smell lemony? I have the same kind and it has a mild lemony scent. |
|
| What a nice mix of colors. I wonder will they self-seed and be different colors next year? I like the iris too! |

| I like the purple one in the first picture and the red one in the third picture. Columbines just say cottage garden flower to me, I don't know why. But they really belong in a meadow or cottage type border. Very pretty :-)) |

| Very pretty Nancy, I love columbines, have quite a few even some of the native ones that were here when we bought the place in 65. I have some species, some woodland and a lovely little white and powder blue from DS2's wife's garden. She was digging this one out because she didn't like it, one man's trash is another man's treasure :). I also have some seed of several different colors from a very generous GWer, I must get them planted. I begged another start of the double flowering lily-of-the-valley from her too, I lost mine don't know why, the pink one is growing like gang busters. Annette |

| Columbines are so pretty and delicate. Love that first one, such unusual colors. Enjoy your surprise iris visitor. |
|
| My columbine came up in April and now it's on its last legs. This is my first time with columbines. I cut the blooms and collected some seeds and clipped dry leaves. It looks like it's trying to bloom again. I am not at all knowing what to expect. Will they bloom again in the fall or through the summer? I am zone 7. |

| I love columbine and yours are especially pretty. Love the color of the one in the first photo. |
