I can't resist showing off my Aquilegias especially the Pinecone types. This plant is a heritage/heirloom variety as it was grown in Victorian gardens and still not too easy to get a hold of. This chap is 3 this year and has 8 sets of petals, I hoping that it will produce a seedling with a full set of 16+ one of these days.
My question is related as I have a young Aquilegia which is a self sown and has produced large 2 inch, single, blue-violet flowers and a set of double/treble, spurless blue-violet flowers. At first I thought it was two seedlings that had grown very close together but I see that the flowers are borne from the same flower spike. Is this a common occurance and why does it happen? Could it be plant hormones?
