so guess what i just found out ,

so this plant is called columbine right , i was looking on goggle and chatgpt

How the color mixing works​

Columbines are very good at cross-pollinating, especially with help from bees and hummingbirds. When your red, blue, and yellow plants are all close together:

• Pollen from one plant can fertilize another
• The seeds that form carry genetic traits from both parents
• Next spring, seedlings may bloom in:
  • New blended shades (like pinks, purples, peachy tones)
  • Or sometimes just one parent color again
  • Or even totally different-looking flowers

So you might get mixes—but you’ll also get some surprises.

Very cool, you'll want to collect some seeds! Didn't you get some yellow ones also?
Love columbines, they are beautiful, but it's another one of those "don't do well here" plants for us.
