It's a Columbine or Aquilegia. These plants readily produce seeds and natural hybrids. They do tend to pop up all over. Columbines need some cold weather and one of the plants I regret we can't grow here in South Florida.


Congrats, it's beautiful.


For more info check out L2G's plant profile on Aquilegia at www.learn2grow.com/plantdatabase/plants/...

It looks like a golden columbine (Aquilegia chrysantha) cross. They've the extra long spurs and large flowers. How pretty!

You know I was thinkin that is what it was, but, it is so HUGE.  I saw columbine at the nursery it did NOT look this big, and there is just the one bloom.  The older rural folks call it a Dragon Lilly, old common name maybe.  I am letting it grow, I would not care if I lost a few Catnip plants to it :)  It is grand.


Lot of different variety on the Columbine.  Thanks Jessie and Carol for your answer to my beautiful flower bed surprise.
