From seed trades.
These were started 2006 and still going strong.
Green Thumb Sunday does not have to be current...so this is the 4th post on "starting from seed" prior to when I started blogging.
They're located in about 3 hours of full sun.
Have some in shade(1-2 hours of late afternoon sun)but they're not as happy.
Not sure about all the names...would appreciate any help.
I love shopping for plants but my biggest thrill is starting them from seed.
They may not be as large or pretty at first as something you buy...
but when a tiny dry seed that has no signs of life germinates,
well it feels like a miracle happening right under my eyes.

What lovely photos of the blooms from your seeds. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteColumbine are blooming now? I thought they only bloomed in spring. Good to know.

lovely pictures of the columbine and your garden so early in the morning
ReplyDeleteThese are such sweet little flowers .. I can't imagine not having one type of Columbine in my garden. I have Black Barlow .. the double ruffled flower in that dark colour just got me .. to do it from seed though .. that is a huge WOW ! .. I think Cosmos and sunflowers are the only ones I would get to sprout ? haha
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures girl !

Hi Patsi

Yes Cameron they're spring flowers. Not Blooming now.
ReplyDeleteI should have said this is the forth post of past flowers from seed for Green Thumb Sunday.
I'll correct that now.
Okay, thanks! I was in a time warp this morning!
ReplyDeleteCameron
The blooms are very pretty and to think you started them from seeds. It is amazing what comes from tiny brown seeds.

Always Growing
Columbine are a favorite of mine. So delicate yet so tough. Many new wonderful varieties being developed. I've never seen the black before.

Patsi, Do you have secrets for growing hybrid columbine? The wild columbine (Colorado state flower) grows veryy well, without any help from me... but I don't seem to have great luck with other varieties. Perhaps I'll just purchase a LOT of seeds and sow them like crazy next Spring?
ReplyDeleteI received many diffent kinds of aquilegia seeds from 2 different sources. There was no problem with the one's you see but most didn't germinate. I can't remember what I did wrong.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
