Aquilegia vulgaris

Hi there,

Great gallery of Pyrenean flora. This is Aquilegia vulgaris - it's common names are colombine or granny's night cap.
There is also a rarer similar species in the Pyrenees - Aquilegia pyrenaica. This is much shorter plant that flowers later (July) and the nectar depositories at the back are straight rather than curved.
Both lovely flowers,
Phil
