    I think that it looks like Aquiligia.

    They seed themselves out woo. I usually let ours stay where they appear as I love to have them all over the place, no matter what colour. However, when Hubby decides it is getting too much in one place, then I just transplant them. They look delicate but seem to be quite sturdy.

    These are one of my favourite flowers- I buy a packet every year so they don't degenerate to pink. This year I've bought 2 packets, a white scented one and a very dark burgundy with dark leaves as well. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hi woo,

    It is definitely aqueligia (columbine). They seed very easily and that is probably a 'wild' version. We have thousands of them in our garden. If it is not one of the modern cultivars it will remain whatever colour you will see it this year. The most common wild colours are pink and purple.

    Here is a photo I posted last year of some of them on our front verge.

    I sent loads of seeds to members of GC that requested them. May one dropped into your garden on the way. :D :D

    Do they transplant OK Kedi? I have always understood that they don't like to be moved.

    Hi PeterS,
    We move our's all the time. We pot loads up and sell them for charity and also give them to friends. They always take OK but don't know how the fancy varieties get on with being moved.

    Hi PeterS, Well shiney has answered your question. I was just going to say that I had only transplanted small ones, seedlings. The only "grown-up" ones I ever transplanted was a large clump of these dark purple ones, that are taller than the regular ones and they have come back every year since. All mine come back in the same colours every year.

    Shiney, that was a beautiful display last year. Mine are a poor comparison - but I have hopes!
