Columbine images on Google Btw: when they go to seed and naturalize, they are usually shades of purple with off white or shades of washed out fuschia. -- Edited on 9/2/08 7:48 PM -- ------ I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...

Columbine is the common names. Jan, who has massives amounts of aquilegias seeding all over in reds, blues, pinks and whites, single and double.
