Wild Columbine, aqualegia vulgaris sez my wife

[Deb London]

Aquilegia? Was it in or near a garden Steve?

[Hedera]

It's Columbine, or Aquilega vulgaris, or Granny's bonnet, probably a garden escapee. Has pink or purple flowers. Pretty.

I found this little stragler in a Dorset lane. It stood out due to its bright fresh looking leaves. Looking so delicate in the undergrowth, I thought it didnt belong.

when does it flower?

Thanks for all the replies. I will google them all now and have a look

Well in that case I stand corrected. I'm was merely going by what I had thought I had observed in my own garden. Perhaps I need to pay more attention
I think I'll stick to reading rather than posting

They are garden perennials, and set seed freely, however quite often they do not flower the first year, so just the pretty young leaves are seen - as in the pic. Once established they flower every year.
