What do you think of this Aquilegia?

This is a hybrid of one grown last year, from seed sent to me by Diana of Kebun Malay-kadazan Girls, but it is very different. Last year’s were like this:

The ones this year are Double – perhaps Triple – and their “tails” are shorter and more orange than red.

Before they open, the tails are inter-twined, like this:

The immature buds are a pale green colour.

I love these flowers, though I have to say I wouldn’t mind if their stems were a bit shorter! They are very tall and spindly, about twice as tall as the “David Ford” ones.
