I did Google Touchwood aquilegias, what a disaster. My aquilegias are self sown and not an essential part of the plan but I leave them 'cos I like 'em. I'll inspect them this year as they emerge and deal with problems accordingly.
I love aquilegia, so hopefully it's limited to a small area. Non of mine show any signs of the disease this year. I guess this is the danger of having so called national collections, if disease does get a hold it'll run riot. Meanwhile the risk of actually introducing a new disease is more likely as those who run these collections will constantly be bringing new plants in to add to the collection.
I always assume they quarantine new plants in some way, but when you are talking about air born spores etc it must be very hard to effectively quarantine new plants.
