Not sure if Colombine's will flower this year or next?

Got a little confused on this thread . So had to look it up . I did not know that Columbine is a common name for Aquilegia another common name is Granny's bonnet . A very pretty plant
Confusion over , carry on

 

Just to throw a little spanner in the works regarding aquilegias:

I bought a very pretty aquilegia from Shineyland in 2014 (may have been 2013 though ). I also moved house later that year.
In 2015, it flowered again beautifully and I collected some seeds (sent some to a fellow GC member if I recall correctly)
Last year, 2016, the original plant still flowered gloriously and I noticed there was a baby plant growing (from 2015 seed cast - natures way -?). In the Autumn, I noticed a couple more (but smaller) plants growing - not sure if they were late developers from the 2015 seed cast, or, if they were eager beavers from the 2016 seed cast (natures way)

Now, even on a budget, you can pick up *one* plant from somewhere (nursery/ garden centre / friend / shop) which saves all that faffing about with seeds - unless you are confident and patient with seeds - and you *will* see a return on your investment. Definitely in that first year and seedlings will follow (by natures way) but may take a year or three; nonetheless, you *do* see a return on them

I also had forget-me-knots when I moved here (2014), but then decided to pull them all up. Last year (2016) I noticed one, solitary plant growing; I allowed it to But, it has trebled in size and I just *know* I'm going to have a good show this year (and forever after if I let it do its own thing ).

Currently, I'm having a bit of a blast with biennials By that I mean: July 2015, cast a seed packet of Sweet Williams over some bare soil and ... forgot about them. Come Spring 2016, glorious show of flower and colour! So: June 2016, cast a packet of Wallflowers into bare soil in a quiet spot; they grew, and in the Autumn of 2016, I transplanted those wallflowers to where I wanted some Spring colour 2017 - they seem to have all thrived and I'm now for a glorious show of wallflowers with their muted colours and fabulous scent! However, how long is one year? 12 months usually I cast those seeds in June, they will be flowering by April Not a bad return, I think.
