Aquilegia pyrenaica

Aquilegia pyrenaica, common name Pyrenean columbine,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae.

The petals bear spurs at the back of the flower that contain nectar and attract the plant's pollinators.

The spurs are long, slender and very little curved in this species, and the stamens are yellow and protruding.

[4] This species prefers pastures and rocky places at an altitude of 1,000 to 1,600 metres (3,300 to 5,200 ft).

It was introduced into cultivation in Britain in 1818, and in 1895, it was planted on rock ledges in Caenlochan Glen in Angus, Scotland, where it became naturalised.
