Question
I found this flower in my New Hampshire garden and haven’t planted anything like it. I couldn’t get the whole flower in a picture without potentially damaging it. The petals are bell shape with multiple yellow pistils and have 5 smaller petals surrounding the bell. the stem is long and thin and leaves are rounded with 5-7 edges and are growing in an alternating up the stem. I’ve been searching online and haven’t seen anything like, if you could help to identify it would be greatly appreciated!
Answer
Dear Ckulczyk, good afternoon. You've photographed a species of columbine (a member of the genus Aquilegia, in the crowfoot family). I don't know which species you have found, but hopefully knowing the genus will be helpful in your search for the name. Best wishes.
