It's an aquilegia - mostly found in traditional cottage garden type schemes, and you can buy them in various shades of pink, purple, white and yellow at garden centre or plant seeds.

These are almost black.
We have a very overgrown garden that is gifting us the most amazing finds now I'm clearing it. It hasn't been touched for about six years since the last farmer lived here. It's a huge job but I'm enjoying it (so far!)

Wow, this has made my evening!.

Cause I normally go on plant ID threads to lurk and learn.Turns out I actually know the name of one whole plant.
