And just for fun, from the Antipodes, I will contribute that Aquilegia, aka Columbine, have also been known as “Granny’s Bonnets” – that will not stand up as a definitive Botanical name, of course, but any good nurseryman will know what you want 😉
It’s a Columbine.
Yep, definitely a columbine. Very nice shot, too!
Beautiful shades of purple, my favorite color.
Beautiful!
I would call it an aquilegia. One of my favourite flowers.
I agree with everyone – the Aquilegia or columbine. They come in quite a wide variety of colours, and are exceedingly easy to grow!
Here are some examples of other colors.
