Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Black Barlow'

Happy #colourpop Saturday everyone 🖤 #aquilegia-black-barlow #columbine-black-barlow

Morning Jane again! Beautiful 💜💜

Morning Jane 🙋 unfortunately I can't find the name of my #colourpop aquilegia

Thanks Julie 🖤 @juliesgarden

Morning Jeremy, I’m sure someone will know 🤔 @jpea

Either way if I can capture some seeds from it I'll collect and send them to you @pelly

Lovely

Morning 💜🖤 Gorgeous colour

Good morning Jane beautiful colour.🤗

Aww thank you Jeremy, I've just seen it, it's a beauty. Would you like some of these? 🤔 @jpea

Thanks Joan 🙏 @joannie.a

Morning Enid, thank you. He really stands out 💜 @godfreye

Meant to post this yesterday for #starburst #aquilegia-black-barlow #columbineblackbarlow

Beautiful 🖤🖤

Oh dark and mysterious.....would look nice mixed with pink Jane...that’s a request for next year 🤣🤣👌🏼

Love that! 🖤

Already done Elaine, Nora Barlow is right next to it. Elise @auricula and I swapped the two colours 👍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Dan, it's so dainty 🙏 @dan5584

👍🏼😉

A match made in heaven 😇 @auricula

Beautiful 😍🖤😍

Thanks Kerry, the flowers as tiny and they face down which is such a shame 😢 @kez001uk

@pelly more nodding flowers 😩 but least the colour can be seen from the back 😂

It was great to get out in the garden this afternoon but the wind was really cold. Black Barlow is putting on lots of new growth #aquilegia #aquilegia-black-barlow

Gosh!! Your plants are so much further ahead than in my garden!!! I've been out fitting the new water butt today and it is freeeeeeezing!!!! Like you say though Jane it's fantastic to actually get outside again, even if it's just for a little while . 💚💚

My lone Columbine is doing pretty good right now, too. 😁

I don't know what it is about my garden Beck, but my Aquilegias never go away, I'm pulling tatty foliage out all winter and it just grows back 🙄 and yes, it was great to get out @mrsflowerpot 😍👍

Glad to hear it Leslie, had it not self-seeded? @lesliecole49 🤔

I haven’t got Nora, she would look great next to my black @auricula 💗🖤👍

Ohh, I hope you don’t think I was dropping a hint Elise, but we could do a swap if you like? @auricula 🤔💗🖤

No Jane, it never flowered! It was a lone seed that survived and got started very late in the summer. I'm happy the foliage survived and am hoping for flowers this year

Sounds good to me Elise @auricula 😄👍

Fingers crossed Leslie 🤞🤞🤞 @lesliecole49

#raindrops #aquilegia #columbine #aquilegiablackbarlow 29/5/19

I actually Googled that, answer to follow 😂😂😂 @scaryskates

How dramatic.

Some flowers are just made for raindrops Joan, thank you @joannie.a 😍😍

Tiny perfection #aquilegia #aquilegiablackbarlow #perfection 7/5/19

Small but perfectly formed! Pretty too!

Pity they won’t hold their heads up...💜👌🏼

They are very sweet, but just too small. I was considering getting rid of them last year for that reason and I think when they've finished this year they'll go, I'd prefer something I can actually see @bigemrg @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 👍👍

@pelly oh no 🤦🏼‍♀️ Don’t Jane

You can have them, I'll pot them up for you for when we meet again Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 👍👍

Your on..👌🏼

It’s gorgeous j 😀

Thanks Terri @telswirld 😍😍

Thanks Jason @Jasonsparkes1 😍😍

Thanks James @bandicoot 😄😄

Morning Jane 👋 N hav a nice day 😘

Morning Thelma touch cookies aren’t they 👍🏻☺️

#raindrops just now 💚💦

Already? I can't wait😁😁😁😄😄😄 #anticipation

These have been going all winter Dar, I keep cutting them back and they just grow again. @SikoMa 💚💚

NO WAY! I'm totally jealous😭

Oh don't be Dar or I may just have to admit that I'm so jealous of your views!! @SikoMa 😍😍

😂😂

Morning all, fingers crossed it’s supposed to be a dry day here, have a great one whatever you’re doing. This was taken yesterday in the rain. 💚💚

Morning Jane fingers double crossed I've got a couple of fence panels to paint today 😄 have a good day 👍

Good morning Jane! Love the way these hold onto the raindrops! Hope it stays dry for you! 😀

Morning Keely, according to the forecast you should be ok, I hope you manage to get it done. We’ve still got the girls and they won’t be going until mid afternoon so I doubt I’ll get in the garden today @Keely 🙂🙂

Morning Ian, I do too. It’s supposed to be a dry day here, I hope it is for you too @bigemrg 👍👍

Morning Jane. Dry here too 😀

Morning Jane @pelly Its dry here also and COLD 😂 sorry am I going on about the cold not to bad I am wrapped up hope no one knocks on my door though with me wearing a scarf, outdoor fleece over my fleece top etc the men in white coats with the van with square wheels would be picking me up 😂😘

Morning Steve, long may it last @cotehow 😂😂

Haha, that will be until Tuesday 3am then according to the forecast ⛄️⛄️⛄️

Morning Suzie, I now have that picture in my head, sorry but it’s so funny (I know it’s not really, I’ve been there in the depths of winter too) @jadojado29 👍👍

Morning Gary, no frost and no wind but quite cold here, enjoy your day @scaryskates 👍👍

Morning Jane , no frost here but snow 😱 forecast later ☃️☃️

Cheeky chappie plus mildew, great!!! 😠😠😠

Mornings Jane, I've noticed mildew on plants that never had it before- you could try chopping leaves to base and as it's not cold yet- you should get fresh green regrowth

Thanks Franca, I've tried that already, it just keeps coming back. I've tried spray now. @titchyfra 🤔🤔🤔

Morning Jane 🙋🏽 sorry to hear

😂😄😅 @scaryskates

#raindrops

The #anticipation is excruciating🤗🤗🤗

Great capture with the droplet of water 💦

Thank you Mandy @RedBates 😊😊😊

Watch out they can slowly take over a garden including paths and walls🐌🐞🐝

They can take over Lorna, I love them 😊😊😊 @llew

Morning all. We have rain, I needn't say any more other than have a great day. 💧☔💧

Morning 😊

Morning Dave, looks like you had a fabulous day yesterday. 👍👍👍

Oh yeeeeees ma'am! This is so goin on my wish list😍. Gorgeous!

It's gorgeous isn't it Dar, they are only tiny flowers but very beautiful. I have William Guinness too, another dark one. Have a look in my plants directory. 😀😀😀

Morning Jane yup ditto 🙆🙆🙆🙆have a good day 😄

Morning Jane. Great ☔️️💦 You too 😊

Great isn't it? @Keely @susanhumphrey 👍👍👍

Morning Jane! That's a pretty one! Have a super Sunday! 😀

Thanks Ian, you too. 😀😀😀 @bigemrg

Morning Jane they are super 🖤🖤 have a good one 😊

Morning Jane, they are gorgeous 🖤

@rachelbrooks. This is the same as yours. It's Black Barlow. The green must fade, isn't that a shame 💚💚💚

Oooh that's so pretty!

Gorgeous isn't it Denise @Denise16 😍😍😍

Ooh that's lovly Jane. Xx

Awesome... isn't nature so clever!

Isn't it just Nicola @cottagegardener 😊😊😊

Mine hasn't even got buds yet 😏🤔. My Rose Barlow is out but my white & black are way behind 😐

My William Guinness is doing well to Lexi. @lexijane 😊😊😊

I just saw that Jane. It looks fab 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Morning to all in GTags land. The birds are singing away in my garden and all my plants have survived the night outside. Have a great day. 🙋🙋🙋

Good morning Jane ..... another early riser. Fabulous plant, gorgeous colour 💜 and great photo. Bird song is lovely at this time of the day. The last three evenings we have heard a cuckoo in the woodland. Hope you have a lovely day 🙂

Morning Jane .......I love to hear the birds singing. Glad all is well in the garden ......enjoy your day :)

Morning Caroline, always an early riser. I can't wait for these to open. Lucky you, I haven't heard a Cuckoo yet @carolineparr235 😊😊😊

Morning Pauline, so do I. Have a great day yourself @flof1952 😊😊😊

Morning Jane spent 20mins putting all mine out this morning 👍😆

Morning Keely, it's so time consuming isn't it? Glad I haven't got that problem now, unless we get another cold snap that is. @Keely 😊😊😊

Morning Jason, you too @Jasonsparkes1 😊😊😊

Morning Jane. Glad your plants are ok. I chickened out and got the Dahlias back in 🙄 going to watch Sarah Raven's video now about pinching them out. Have a good day too 😊👍

Morning Sue, I must admit I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw them all @susanhumphrey333 😊😊😊

Morning. I am also listening to the birds - from my comfy warm bed !!!!

Lucky lady @charlotte 😊😊😊

So excited, I've got my first bud. 😀😀😀

Yay! I normally have no luck with these but I've managed to get a few to overwinter in the garden! 😀

Brill Jane! 👍🏼👏🏼 are these new to your garden, or did you have them last year?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Jane, not long to wait by the look of it. That's interesting Ian, where are you? I love them but they can be a bit of a nuisance as they self seed for me so freely @bigemrg

New Rachel, like nearly everything, I love the colour of this one, I've got the William Guinness one too @rachelbrooks 😊😊😊

It's my first year Ian, so fingers crossed that I can keep them @bigemrg 😊😊😊

Even better! 👍🏼 I have a couple of these, new this year, no buds as yet...😬

@awomanonabike - I'm in Hampshire Jacqueline! I know, everyone else seems to be able to grow them like weeds, but I've never had any luck with them! I've got my fingers crossed for this year though! 😀

@bigemrg How peculiar (not the living in Hampshire bit 😉) 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Woohoo 🙌🏼 looking forward to seeing it 🤗

Cataloguing # notmygarden

Very pretty.

Ooh love this one! Also planted it this year...can't wait to see it! 🖤

@pelly Love the trend towards dark hellebores, agapanthus etc. The trick is how to set them off

Me neither Rachel. @rachelbrooks 😊😊

That's the dilemma Ian. 😊😊 @ianshaw

I've got these as plugs Jane. Hoping they're going to look as lovely as those 💜👌🏼

It's not my photo Lexi, I got it off the net as most of my plants are new and I wanted to see what they will look like when they're grown. But yes, I hope they do too. @lexijane 😊😊

I know Jane. I mean I hope mine turn out as good as those 😂

So do I, both yours and mine Lexi @lexijane 😊😊

Loving these 😊

Me to Suzy @suzyw ✴✴✴
