A touch of summer
It is winter in New Zealand at the moment and I am missing the colours of summer, so I went through some old photos to look for summer flowers to brighten up my day, these are my favourites. Hope you enjoy them. Feel free to comment.
Do you know the name of this flower?

These are very nice photos....I am still working on the name of the flower. Sometime soon we will be going back to the botanical gardens where I got my photo like that but in a different color and ask them.

I found that you wonder -flower is: Aquilegia
Aquilegia Aquilegia (columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of herbaceous perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere. They are known for their distinctive flowers, generally bell-shaped, with each petal modified into an elongated nectar spur. Its fruit takes the form of a follicle. Several species are grown in gardens, including Aquilegia vulgaris (European Columbine), a traditional garden flower in many parts of the world[1]. Numerous hybrids have also been developed as well. They are easy to propagate from seed. They are used as food plants by some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth, Dot Moth, The Engrailed and Mouse Moth. (source: Wikipedia) All best!
