Hi Audrey, Sending you email! --Tina

Looking for Aquilegia vulgaris 'Black Barlow' and A. vulgaris 'Nora Barlow'. Please have a look at my updated list and find something we can trade! Best, seedmoney

Ancient thread, I know. But as I'm still searching for suppliers of this columbine, I have a few things to note: 1) I shipped 3 mature members to my mom in Wisconsin (I live in Missouri) without any problem at all. They all survived and have put in at least two full seasons with her now. 2) I found one site that says that "Carol Ann" and "Granny's Bonnet" are the same variety. I found a couple of sites that say that "Granny's Bonnet" and "Dorothy Rose" are the same variety. 3) The botanical name of all three is reported to be "Aquilegia vulgaris". But that includes many, many cultivars and flowers of many colors. Makes me wish I could find a reference to the different cultivars. I'd really like to be sure I'm truly getting seeds for "Carol Ann" since that's what I already have in the ground here (though a couple were crowded out last year and I fear may not come back this year). It looks like Swiftgreenhouses.com is selling them this year to their customers / distributors. (And I did recover one of the "tag-stakes" that came with my original set of columbines, and the address on them led me to that website.) But of course, I'm not a business, so I can't buy direct from them. They've got a "broker list" there, but those too appear to be wholesalers.

Thane, I would really like 2 Aquilegia 'Black Barlow', Helianthemum 'Cheviot", Penstemon and 1 Achillea 'Moonshine'. I live on 5 acres in North Bend and would love you to come out and dig up as many native plants as you want! I also have plenty of ground covers that you can have like ajuga, wooly thyme and corcican mint. I'm going on vacation tomorrow for 1 week, but could arrange for you to come over the weekend of the 14 or 15. What do you think?
