what happens when you mix aquilegia colors? wild flower surprise!

I tried crossing a few aquilegia plants last spring, just to see what would happen. I picked my brightest pink and deepest purple, then let nature do its thing. This season, I spotted blooms in shades I’ve never seen before—some petals even had stripes! It felt like opening a mystery box every morning. Turns out, mixing up your garden favorites can lead to some wild results. I didn’t follow any fancy rules, just let the bees help out and kept the soil happy. The best part? Each new flower feels like a little reward for experimenting. If you’re bored with your usual blooms, try crossing a couple of your favorites. You might end up with something totally unexpected. #gardeningtips #flowerpower #aquilegia #Gardening
