    I adore hosta leaves when they first begin to unwrap and your featured Clematis is just divine!

    Hi folks! Not taken many photos in April due to horrendous weather conditions. Managed to take this at the weekend. It's the 'mystery' aquilegia which I think Yvie and/or Lilylouise identified:

    And some rather bedraggled bearded irises:

     Hopefully the weather will continue to improve, and things will actually start growing!!

    Put away the face of shame Geoff!  Your pictures are as lovely as everyone elses.

    Thank you all for your kind comments.

    Lorea, I think it was Lilylou that identified that mystery Aquilegia.  I'd really like that one.  It would go well with my other, darker ones.  Chuck us some seeds! image

    As was rightly suggested Yvieh, it must have self-seeded from the one I planted last year - the flowers on that one are much bluer (that doesn't look right) than this one though. If this one self-seeds I suppose the flowers will be different againimage

    Aquilegias are a promiscuous lot, aren't they? I got a lovely pure white one a couple of years ago, no idea who the parents were!

    Wonderful photos again image

    As much as I would like to take the credit it wasn't me who identified the beautiful Aquilegia image

    I've just checked back on the beeb board - it was Kate1123. We could start another parallel thread "mystery identifiers of mystery plants"image
