Pam, thank you for your enthusiasm and fav! It's Ray who has the green fingers and these aquilegia just keep self seeding in the garden - maybe he talks to them?!

@brav

Richard, thanks - don't think they come in yellow - you could 'breed' them?!

Thank you so much everyone for your enthusiastic comments and interesting information. I now know that granny could also have a yellow bonnet and with the two tone ones I found this afternoon see http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/a-few-more/2013-05-15
she could actually have one for every day of the week!

Ours are wild type too but I think they are photogenic with a white page as a background!
