Most of mine are not open yet - but here is what happens when a fancy yellow long spurred one has a fling with a common purple. Not sure i even like it very much, but keep it for novelty value
Think this is Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Ruby Port' but its looking a bit thin and sorry for itself this year.. I had to move them (not sure if its a good idea but it was that or nothing) as we demolished that area of the barn a few weeks ago.

Yarrow, please tell me the name of that blue one? I think it is just wonderful
I had an Aquilegia; dark, dead purple; a sort of Lucretia Borgia colour. I dug it up and gave it to a neighbour who loves it!
So it is lovely to discover all these very beautiful ones.
Not sure on varieties, I have got the labels somewhere, although some have appeared from nowhere
Rhod your first pic...is it Nora Barlow?
They are all so lovely.
Artjak...the blue one came in a mixed pack from B&Q (are we allowed to say that?) of McKanna Hybrids I think.

Not sure if that worked. If it did it's Black Barlow, bought bare root from homebase last year
And again. I'm a sucker for deep dark colours.
All mine are self sets, like this one the best.
These are beautiful, Aquilegias are one of my favourites !
