I know this is an Auricula, but is it a McKenna?

    McKenna or McKana Hybrid Aqualegia, that's the question, is it or isn't it?

    This beauty has appeared in amongst my 12" high red and gold Kenna Aqualegia, it does not have the standard blue/pink/red/white Aqualegiaflower shape but it is some 24" or so in height.

    So, can anyone please advise me on if it is a McKenna hybrid or not, and pretty please, any idea of possible variety that it might be??

    And it looked like this last week.

    Thanks for any assistance in advance.

      DOH! Goes off and sulks whilst working out how to explain spelling "Aqualegia" so darn differently!

          I know, but I can't alter the title, only correct the content.

          Now that certainly looks like my stranger, many thanks!
