Planted about 4 years ago, and gets dead headed every year. It started out as a multi coloured plant, down to just the one colour now.

Columbines don't change their color. That was likely a mixed pot of several different plants. Over the years the other plants have died out leaving only the red.

Wait… I found the issue, where did I say the plants magically change colour? Your entire argument has been about something I’ve never stated and you assumed that I meant they randomly change colour?

Go back through the comments and you’ll see that I don’t state that, in fact my comments all talk about how they die end of season and come back differently. I also dead head, so they couldn’t have hybridized, but of course this is another point you just ignored in your bloviated rant….

You insult MY reading comprehension, when you started an argument over something YOU assumed?

All I said was they change colour, than every comment you go and explain how they do while thinking I was talking genetics? Please show where in my comment you got this stupid idea from. Show the class, please. Of course some die, the environment conditions (which is what I was talking about) affects those. I never argued any of these points, yet in every response you assumed I was arguing with you. Get help dude.
