Hello, I'm Carrie Thomas, a keen plantswoman with an interest in unusual and rare gardenworthy plants, as well as cottage garden favourites. I especially enjoy growing from seed, sowing several hundred types each year as I'm awed by the miraculous process of germination.
In particular I love aquilegias (granny bonnets/ columbines), and I have the National Plant Collection®of Aquilegia vulgaris cultivars here in Swansea; comprising not only singles but all forms of doubles, bicolours and scented forms.
In recognition of the incredible red and yellow doubles that are being created here, Plant Heritage (was NCCPG) granted Plant Collection status in Autumn 2009 for 'Aquilegia hybrids'(adding to the existing 'Aquilegia vulgaris cultivars'). Come and see them, I'm sure you'll be wowed! They flower a little later than the A. vulgaris cultivars, so extending the season. There's doubles in yellow, red & yellow, pink & yellow, 'black' & yellow, and finally in 2012 I now have purple & yellow. Blue & yellow doubles are proving elusive.............- Loading...
