Origami mix (columbines?) in full bloom (lemmy.world)

Interestingly, only this one still has the purple. There used to be yellow, white and pink too. They’ve been slowly losing colours when they come back. I do deadhead them when the bloom is spent.

This year I also added some more bought seeds around them, and I might just let some late season blooms seed as well.

Any recommendations?

I don't have any recommendations. I just want say those are absolutely beautiful. Well done, and please let them go to seed. I can't seem to get them to grow at all in my zone, but they may be my favorite flowers.

I am really enjoying all of your posts. Spring growing is pretty much over at my latitude, and we have entered the time of scorched earth. Lovely to see that somewhere, columbines are strutting their stuff!

God I love columbines. I have those Purples and Eastern Red.
