I think their behavior is similar to the hybrids: short-lived but self-seeding... So glad you enjoyed the post, Cathy - thanks!

I am looking forward to seeing mine soon, although most of them are shades of pink and purple. I wonder if yours sets seed all over the place like mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-68637148869884558042016-04-14T15:10:50.057-07:002016-04-14T15:10:50.057-07:00I'm so pleased to find that I can add far more...I'm so pleased to find that I can add far more plants to my to-try list than I have had to remove... ;-) I'll be excited to see how it does if you do try it there!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-74662695872986951842016-04-14T15:09:31.518-07:002016-04-14T15:09:31.518-07:00Thanks, Cathy!

Very much their own thing in comparison with the vulgaris types, but just as charming. I find I really like having all that lantana around - it's quite a workhorse here, very reliable!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-1263488401643916632016-04-13T15:31:35.028-07:002016-04-13T15:31:35.028-07:00Such a lovely arrangement Amy and thank you for te...Such a lovely arrangement Amy and thank you for telling me about the aquilegia on IG the other day - It is such a pretty flower and I would love to try it - another one for the list!<br />- Kate xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080194896492043939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-39544518877005389122016-04-13T11:15:58.531-07:002016-04-13T11:15:58.531-07:00That is a gorgeous pure yellow aquilegia, Amy - wi...That is a gorgeous pure yellow aquilegia, Amy - with such long stamens!

'Swallowtail' was ordered from High Country Gardens, and it may be exclusive with them. I tried A. desertorum last year and was very happy with it also. Still waiting for it to come into bloom this year, but it looks healthy... very similar to an orange and yellow one you showed from one of the botanic gardens - sorry I can't remember which - last year. I'm making a new olla for Swallowtail; it will need a cool, moist root run, but I'll try to keep it happy with a slow supply of water and plenty of mulch! Here's hoping...Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-8721635965659681942016-04-12T17:26:41.741-07:002016-04-12T17:26:41.741-07:00Lovely!

I'll have to look around for it. I have just one Aquilegia, a blue and white hybrid, but, of the 3 plants I originally had, only one has returned to bloom this year.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-43109374240499454772016-04-12T16:51:25.621-07:002016-04-12T16:51:25.621-07:00Thanks so much, Donna!
