Morning everyone. This is the first of my various aquilegias to flower, it shouldn’t be long before I have some more hopefully 🤍. Have a great day #aquilegia-green-apples #columbine-green-apples #mayflowers

Morning Jane - they're so pretty 🤍💚🤍 I sowed some aquilegia ages ago and I saw the leaves the other day when I was tidying the border. I can't remember if it was this one or not - I'll need to check. 👍

Mine are Lime Sorbet - I sowed them in 2020. Still waiting for a flower 😄

Thanks Ange. Yours should flower this year then 🤞. Getting back to plant names these are never really green which is a bit disappointing @anges

I hope so🤞 You would think Lime Sorbet might be green but I think they're white 😄

I lost the one you sent me too Jane - perhaps they didn’t like the postal service…

Morning Jane .. I had green apples at the last house but as you say they’re not green 🤨, my aqualegia all seem to look downwards like the hellebores 🤣

I reckon that’s it Jane & Elaine, maybe I launched some seeds about 🤨 it’s squished in with a large grass, I also checked the leaves and the ones that aren’t part of the flower stem are definitely aquilegia 👍🏼😀 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I particularly like this one Jacqueline 💚 I spotted a pink bud too on another one. To change to a completely different subject, how long do rhodochiton seeds usually take, I'm just wondering whether to persevere with them, it's six weeks now? 🤔 @awomanonabike

I have this one, bought it as bareroot plant earlier in the year but I don't know if it will flower this year. I suspect I might have to wait until next year for the flowers. Thank you for the offer 💞
