Eliza Waters 
That flower is a beauty…..and it’s a very good photo of it too. Nice composition and background blur. Is this out of your garden, Eliza?
Thank you very much, Vicki. Yes, out in our back yard. I’m hoping to make a big patch by sowing seeds at the end of the season. Can’t have too many of these!
Very pretty blooms to wake up to!
Thank you, Anne, glad to add to your morning!
It’s that time of the year!!!!
Yes, so many fun blooms in the gardens these days. 🙂
Wow, beautiful!!!! ☺️
Thank you, John. 🙂
Beautiful 🌸
Thank you, Karen. ❤
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Cathy!
Love to see the stacked petals!
She is a frilly thing, a bit like a ballerina’s tutu!
Morning Eliza. This name always makes me chuckle as it is a bit of an old-fashioned name for such an exotic flower. Actually raining in France today – my, but we really need it!
MJ
Thank you, MJ. Yes, lucky Nora. 🙂
We’re getting much needed rain today, too. Most welcome!
Charming and delightful!
Thank you, Harshi!
Happy Wednesday, Nora, you’re looking beautiful.
Thanks, Judy! 🙂
What a cheerful bloom. I looked it up and found out who it is named after. What an honor.
It is a pretty thing, unique among columbines… the other darker ‘Barlows’ don’t come close to its luminous beauty.
Lovely!
Thank you, Donna!
She’s a beauty! And so is your wonderful image.
Thank you kindly, Dale! x
🙂
I have never seen Nora before. Such a jaunty flower.
She definitely makes a statement… a diva in the dappled light. 🙂
Loveliness Eliza.
Thank you, Cindy. 🙂
I had to look and find out who Nora is, love it. Would not have guessed. Granny, indeed.
Yes, from a prominent family and a pioneer in a woman’s role in science. Worth commemorating.
Nora is one of the most beautiful even more so in person. I let her seed all over my old garden. Wish I could hear. Instead I am hoping to seed the native red columbine along the woods edge.
Thank you, Donna. It’s a pity about your garden restrictions, but at least you have that wooded edge to play in.

What a gorgeous one!
Thank you, Sandy!
Welcome!
Hot summer color! Beautiful blooms, Eliza.
Thank you, Tina!
Very Nice Eliza!!
Thank you, Reed. 🙂
She’s a beauty! Aquilegia is yet another genus of plants I’ve struggled to grow here – they rarely last a season, much less a year.
Thank you, Kris! Yes, generally, they are not fond of hot and dry. 😉
Wonderful photo, Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
Lovely 💝
Thank you, Val 🙂
I love that deep rosy color and it’s striking set against the green. Lovely!
Thank you, Barbara! It is a lovely cultivar.
Eliza, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these before — it’s just lovely! Is it a perennial?
Thanks, Debbie. Yes, it is perennial and self-sows readily. Basically, a double columbine.
Ah, thanks — lovely and practical. Good news for gardeners!
Lovely double, Eliza. And a great shot of it as well.
Thanks, Steve. Something ate my blue Barlow again this year… I suspect slugs. (sigh)
I photographed a bunch of slugs and snails the other day. Maybe I’ll hold off posting them. 🙂
Thanks, I find them super annoying! 😀
Oh pretty
Thank you, Karina!
So pretty! 🙂
Thank you, Robin!
Your garden did enjoy all the rain!
Yes, everyone benefits! Last night I was watching fireflies, they haven’t been this numerous in years. Last June was dry and the numbers were down, glad for this year’s abundance!
Ooo how interesting! We were just talking about fireflies last night.
What a generous flower and a striking colour combination too. It makes me think of the old swimming caps covered in petals.
Ha, yes, I can see that. 🙂 Thanks, Susan!
Now that is a very different looking Columbine variety … only the center looks familiar. I have some pinkish ones too but they have the came petal shape as the native Columbine.
The ‘Barlow’ series are all fluffy doubles… I also have dark purple, burgundy and mid-pink… quite striking in the garden.
I love the name of this flower ~ it seems like something I’d find growing wild along a trail, something to keep me entranced for a while. Very striking, wonderful shot.
Thanks much. It is a great cultivar with a nice long bloom period. One of my favorites.
Fabulous, Eliza! Love the composition which encourages my eye to wander. 🙂
Thank you, Jane, kind of like the ‘butterfly’s view.’ 😉
So beautiful 😍
Thank you!
