columbines have sown themselves all over the garden in lots of different colours
Aquilegia (pronounced /ˌækwɨˈliːdʒiə/) is a genus of about 60-70 species of columbines, herbaceous perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere. They are known for their distinctive flowers, generally bell-shaped, with each petal modified into an elongated nectar spur. Its fruit takes the form of a follicle. Columbine is derived from the latin word for Dove.
