Hello, can anybody please tell me the names of these two perennial plants which I have had for years, but I don't know thier names. It is the yellow one and the pink one.

Thank you Frances.

    Yes, I agree

    I think the first might be an aquilegia but it loses focus when I enlarge it.

    I thought the same about the pink one nut, judging more by the leaves than anything.  If it is an aquilegia it's probably a 'clematis flowered' variety.  Can we have a closer photo Frances?

    Yes, that's a clematis-flowered Aquilegia.  And a very pretty one, too! image

    That is a really pretty aquilegia - haven't seen one quite like that before - another item for the shopping list..... image

    Thank you for your replies.  I have the Aquilegia in a large pot and the flowers sit on very tall stems so it requires support.  I want to buy more of the two plants mentioned so you all have been very helpful.  I now know what to ask for.

    Frances.

    Do clematis-flowered Aquilegia come true from their own seed pods?
