Doris...I'd love some of the purple & white (no. 1)....are they McKanna Giants? I have some soft pink with short spurs I'd be happy to trade...or perhaps something else. By the end of summer I can put together a list of things I have.

Patrick

They grew from seed, and I don't know if they're McKanna or not, but they are nice and tall. I'd be glad to pot up some #1 for you, Patrick!

Hey Doris ;
I would love #3 please, And I thought U where going to host the next one ? hehe :) I would love to see where all those hellebores are growing. Thanx for the columbines. Frani.

Oh, Frani, you bad girl! Don't be posting my address, heh, heh!

I have lots of #3. I'll pot you up a few.

Doris, I'd love some #1! Those are gorgeous - I love the bicolor columbines the best!

Oh I like #2. (Pretty Please) I was about to ask when's the next one. So Doris...whats the addy. What should I bring. Can I come early with a shovel???? hehehehehe

And be sure to save seeds of each kind. #1 looks like the colorado columbine, and 3# looks like a named "chocolate" or some such cultivar.

I want to do a big winter seed sowing exchange at the Green Elephant this fall. So start saving the seeds now. :)

Jim

If you have any left of #1 or #2 or both i could use some thanks so much, great colors

Pam

Jim, I'll be saving seed! Susan, I've got you down for #2. I think I'm out of #1, folks.

Pam, I'd be glad to dig some #2 for you, but I'm only providing these at the local plant trades. Will you be around? Or, if not, can I collect seed and send you some when it's ripe?

#1 isn't McKana Giant or the Colorado native. It is the progeny of some that I had hand selected and that the bees cross hybridized.

Oh, sure! Take all the credit, Kellie with a small 'k'! Heh, heh! You and those bees!

Not looking for credit, just don't want misinformation going around!

Well, I must say, you sure know how to hand select 'em, Miss Kellie!

I'd like some seed from #2 & #3 & would love to have a plant of each if we could work that out. I'm kinda in the boonies...

I am growing some mini-columbine this year & may have some seed from them to trade. I also will have seed from two different shades of deep red, one with white & the other with yellow. If you are interested in these. Then I have a couple of bags of mixed columbine seeds from last year...

Maybe we should call #1 'Kellie's Bees' !!! Hiya Kellie.

Patrick

Hiya, Patrick!

Since I left my collection behind when we moved (boohoo!) I'm starting over again. Doris has several that I have my eye on..........midnight raid!!

Is that your good eye, Kellie?

I'd love to swap some of my variegated leaf columbine (can't think of the variety right off, but with a pretty gold and green leaf and rose flowers) for some of your #1.

Hello to kellied and Doris_j! (((((hugs)))))

Cindy

Hey Cindy! Good to see you!

Speaking of midnight raids...
Doris, how are your ferns?

remember to keep them watered if we finally get summer later this week.

:waves: Hi Doris! :)

There are Columbine all over my yard front and back but every single one of them is dark blue. Now, I love dark blue but I didn't realize there were so many other pretty colors and combinations.
