This morning, I went outside to check if my columbines had bloomed yet so I could get a picture.
What I thought was my pink and white Grandma’s bonnet, which was what I had planted in that spot two years previous, was this….
Apparently my Magpie, a black and white columbine, has cross pollinated with Granny here and this is the happy result. Sadly though, my grandma’s bonnet is nowhere to be found. I will have to start another one soon.
I wonder though, if I saved the seeds from this new cross, if it would come back true or revert back to the Magpie, like most hybrids do…. Hmmm.
I’ll let ya’ll know next year!

This is lovely, I saw one like it at Wal Mart and almost bought it. I might have to go back and pick it up.
