That's an Aquilegia, Wjohndixon, a perennial plant that flowers in spring.

Little beauty that, very delicate colours

Yes, an Aquilegia. It comes in many colours, and varying heights. A most beautiful cottage garden perennial. Yours is lovely.

Thank you for your responses. Love the shape and colours of this flower.

Definitely aquilegia (altrnative name Granny's bonnet). An old fashioned cottage garden flower which re-seeds itself. I've had various coloured ones in my garden now for around 15 years and they never fail to give a good display.

I don't believe it !

The landlord came round today and did some weeding. He tore up the aquilegia - destroyed it. Glad I'm leaving here in a coupe of weeks.
