Aquilegia 'McKana Giant'

I don’t think I’ve put this one on this spring ❤️💛❤️## #aquilegia-mckana-giant #columbine-mckana-giant

That's unusual - well unusual to me. I like it 🙂

Thanks Charlotte. They need very little attention, you ought to try a few 👍 @charlotte

Lovely I haven’t got that one….🤔😉

It’s lovely 🥰

If I get some seeds I'll send you some Elaine 👍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Elise, I love the colours 😍 @Auricula

Great colours on this one ❤️💛

Thanks Kerry, there’s usually a lilac coloured one growing with this but it hasn’t appeared this year 🤔 @kez001uk

@pelly I swear they change places every year 😂 new colours appear or old ones move around the garden 🤣 most of mine have been decimated by sawfly larvae 😐

I’ve had several different ones this year, it’s been lovely, sorry to hear about yours though 😢 @kez001uk

@pelly thanks Jane ☺️ apparently they don’t kill the plants, they’ll grow back fine. Just look a complete mess and they strip them in no time!

Morning everyone, we’ve had rain overnight ☔️🥳 the first for for weeks. Have a great day #aquilegia-mckana-giant

Morning Jane. Oh that's good ....bet you're relieved 👋🥳

Morning, us too 👍

Morning Jane.. oh you lucky thing !! 😂

Very but we could have done with much more Pauline ☔️ @flof1952

Morning Ange 😍 @anges

Morning Julie, it’s a relief. I hope you get some soon ☔️ @juliesgarden

Morning Jane, unfortunately we have only got grey, damp horrible here.

Morning Joan, I hope you get some soon 🌧 @joannie.a

Morning Jane, no rain here I’m afraid… I have a feeling when it starts it won’t stop☔️. Giant is looking very fresh💚

Morning Elise, we must have been lucky then and yes, it's freshened the garden up 🌧 @Auricula

Wow. Dry as a bone here.

Morning everyone, have a lovely day. I think this aquilegia is giving a sneak preview of what’s to come 😂❤️💚 #aquilegia-mckana-giant

Morning Jane ... oooh a beauty no doubt 🌸🌸

Very pretty !!!

Thank you Sherri @sherrisgarden 💜💜

You're very welcome

Columbine has my heart💜. You are Welcome, Jane.

I love the back of these wonderful flowers almost as much as the front 💕💕

Did you know if you bite the little nodules at the end of the tails, that they are seductively sweet? 👅

No I didn't Kari, I might have to give that a go, thank you @KariSamuel 👍👍

Beautiful photo Jane 💕

Morning Jane don’t you be eating them all 🤭

Morning Elaine, it’s got to be tried though @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 🤔🤔

My neighbour is as mad as me Jason @Jasonsparkes1 😂😂👍

It's horribly addictive! 🤗 One of my first childhood memories!

Hope your neighbour is not on garden tags Jane 😂😂

No she’s not thankfully @jendren 😂😂

@KariSamuel was looking at Janes columbine and came across your comment. Funny you should say that as the pic reminded me of honeysuckle and my childhood memory was of doing the same with the base of honeysuckle flowers... sucking the nectar! Hope you are well! 👍🏼🌈

A rogue bloom on the purple and white one 🤔🤔

A lovely rogue 💛

Isn't she Jacqueline @awomanonabike 😊😊

Beautiful 👌

Thank you Julie @juliesgarden 😍👍

Morning Jason, thank you, it’s so lovely @Jasonsparkes1 😍👋
