Answer
Dear albert_mason, good morning. I believe you have photographed Aquilegia vulgaris (European columbine). The form you have submitted here is a form with many more than the five petals that the wild-type would display (there are cultivars that show this form of flower), which makes it more difficult to interpret the parts. The leaves of this plant are in the upper right of the image (out of focus, divided). Best wishes.
