This flower (not planted by us) was noticed in our pot next to the back door that has had a red flowering Geranium in it for years (not looking too good at the moment). Sorry not that good with plants.

Aquilegia. Also known as Grannys Bonnet. Not a native.

@AlisonMilton thanks Alison, appreciate your help. Not sure what plant category to put it under, so will have to wait as the name does not come up on the search for Aquilegia.

Hi Deb, It would no doubt go under Other wildflowers and herbs. A garden escapee: native to the Northern Hemisphere.

Thanks again Alison, just went through the steps to add the name as a suggestion but it doesn't seem to have worked as it hasn't put the name up as a suggestion. Oh well will leave it in the hands of someone who knows better. Appreciate your time and help Alison.
