    Have had these for about 10 years or more. I have given away seeds, but people can't seem to grow them. They are in an area on the west side of the basement wall, next to a retaining wall. They only get afternoon sun.

    Such delicate looking flowers and what a lovely colour your columbine is too. I don't think we have that plant over here in Scotland but if we did it would definately find a place in my garden.

    We've got one like that outside, but of course I can't for the life of me remember what they're called now! They grow very tall, don't they? The whole plant has a sort of lighter-than-air-quality about it.

    Edit, I remember now. They're Thalictrum-something. We call them seed-stars.

    They are beautiful Capt. I've never seen them before. I would definately have some here if I found them available. Thanks for sharing.
