It's an aquilegia! And a lovely one at that. It's the McCanna Hybrid type with the large voluptuous flowers. The wild kind has much smaller flowers. The good news it that it's a perennial. It will grace your border for many years.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I just love Aquilegias - all the different shapes and sizes. Don't be tempted to move her though, she'll hate that.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Many thanks Flummery for the id, and thank you also to Jeanied..if you had not said that I would definately have moved it as it cannot be seen where it is. I only saw it due to weeding.
So I must collect seed from it this year, it was a lovely surprise to find it.
