I posted a couple of close-up images of "Granny's Bonnets" (aquilegia) here a few days ago and Wendlane commented she couldn't remember what the plants looked like...
Here's a look at a couple of varieties from my garden. Granny's Bonnets are not to everyone's taste, but I like them... 
Sadly greenfly, whitefly and other pests seem to like them too!

Pro Not much chance of that in my garden then! 
Munzly
Pro You'll just have to cultivate a taste for greenfly - after all they're made entirely of flower sap. 
Usksider
Pro I think I'll pass on that one....

Really? I've got loads of these in my garden, now I know what they are - thank you.
Usksider
Pro They spread like wildfire... but I don't mind that. 
deana24
No, no - they are beautiful.
Usksider
Pro They certainly brighten up my patch.

I love these too - especially the two-tone ones. They bring back childhood memories of when we used to collect the seed pods and empty the tiny black seeds out.
Usksider
Pro I'll admit to pinching the odd seed pod when I see a variety I've not got...
la_spice
I'll send you some French ones!
Usksider
Pro That would be nice... thank you!
la_spice
Usksider
Pro Allez les bleus!
la_spice
It's the best I could manage at short notice!
J'espere que tu l'aimer? (or something like that!) That reminds me - I must shoot off to my French lesson! 
Usksider
Pro I was thinking much the same...
Enjoy your French orals..... 
I do believe I recognise tghe mnow and like spice i love theose pretty two tone ones thankyou for posting
Sorry terrible typos -of course I meant 'I recognise them now'
Usksider
Pro And there was me thinking you'd been on the wacky backy or something!
ahem... just no bloomin sleep again...but yes I did have one dram to help me along you understand, didn't do much good though
Usksider
Pro Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that... insomnia is such a pain. Poor you. 
Usksider
Pro A pleasure.
