Hi Mje.
These lovely flowers are Aquilegias, otherwise known as Columbine. These particular ones appear to be Bressingham hybrids. When the flowers finish, the seedpods are a fascinating shape and when dry the seeds can be collected. They are very easy to grow. I have quite a few although I am still after a yellow one like the one in the photo.
Lovely shot. Made me drool a little.
