The last two are aquilegia - a garden plant

jules-2005

I think the first one is batchelors button cornflower and the 2nd is aquilegia.

I'm fairly sure 4 is Aquilegia (http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/search/name/aquilegia/), 5 is Centaura Montana (http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/centaurea-montana/1238.html)

1 is some sort of weed and 2/3 escapes me

Sorry

I'm only seeing three pics

top one (the blue 'thistle' type) has been correctly identified as a cornflower.

The pink one and the pic with the three-lobed leaves are aquilegia, which I have, and also known as columbine. There are pink variants and purple but left to themselves you could get a real mixture!

They are weeds however if they are where you don't want them;)

HEY! They are not weeds! They are very popular cottage garden plants and both very easy to identify if they self seed and you want to thin them out to just a few areas, however they are good at supressing real weeds

Yes the last two are aquilegia, lovely popular cottage garden plants :T At the nursery where I work they are sold at £1.25 each, how many do you have? :T

I want to thank you also, the Aquilegia is the one that I wanted identified. A friend gave me some seeds from hers but she couldn't remember what they were called. They are lovely.

How spooky that 3 users wanted the same plants identifying at the same time
While my pics I took yesterday were uploading to photobucket I thought I would come and make a start on my own 'Please help me identify these plants' thread. I saw this thread and thought I'd have a nosey only to find a different coloured version to the two I wanted identifying.
Now I know I have 2 different colours of Aquilegia!
I have 3 that are purple and a dark pink/white one.

Usually I scatter the seeds and hope for the best but this year I want to grow some in pots to allow them to get nice and big before putting them in the borders.
