Aquilegia Ballerina..... pressie from Karen....

It looks like lots of frilly petticoats!

Your right it does.....

Wonderful shape! I haven't seen a barlow like this. Excellent gift. :-)

Very pretty ...

Is this the double that originated from Oliveoil's garden Dotty?

Yes, this was Oliveoil's seed! :)) Now, I saw it in a catalogue recently and I 'think' it's called 'ballerina'...let me check...yup, that's the name :)

..and I'm thrilled to see it has come true. Mine has not yet opened up!

Lovely variety :o)

Lovely....so unusual...:>)

Thanks all for your comments, as you can tell I am delighted with such a beautiful Aquilegia, and with such an attractive name.

Mines still closed Karen but I'm excited after seeing Angela's. It's planted in the side garden border now :o)

Thats lovely..........

Thanks ;-0

Mine are still closed too, even after two warm sunny days!

Still closed and pale green but the shape is there now so will be worth the wait!

Yes, mine are opening up right now Annie....must be on the same timetable as yours!
