Columbine Ballerina Pink

Aquilegia vulgaris

These ruffled pale pink blooms resemble ballerina tutus. They are fully double blooms that measure about 1 and 1/2 inches. This perennial plant typically blooms in the second year. 

These double columbine were in the landscape at one of my growing sites (a very generous neighbor let me grow flowers in part of her garden). This all pink/blush double is a rare, unusual variety. While I didn't plant this myself, you better believe I harvested the seeds to share them with you!
