Like many of these sensational colour blends, the depth of the yellow colour as the bud opens is the most dramatic, with a gradual fading to a creamy shade.
Wow!! yes thanks folks - that would be lovely. Now, I really love aqueligias but I don't seem to do very well with them. I bought some established 'gone over' plants at the GC last summer (when they sell them off cheap!!) and thought they would be very happy, but the result has been a bit disappointing. Daphne I love!! I have got one I bought online as a twig and it is okay this year, but growing slowly in a pot. I am hoping to plant it in the shade of a tree. But the new planting positions are not in the rather congested and over complicated beds of the raised garden, but in the new beds I am carving out of the wilderness.

These are the parent plants. Photos are off Carrie Thomas website for Touchwood aquilegias. I'm hoping forsomething pretty spectacular next year.
