Any Ideas

I'm watering next doors garden and i saw this flower growing in their rockery. It's very intricate, blows in the wind but looks very nice.

I've no idea what it is and I had to do some serious contrast and sharpness adjustments to bring out the detail in the petals

Might be worth a lare view to see the delicate folds
Is it a Columbine do you think...just a guess but those long points remind me of one. You must be on holiday watering duty!!!

You haven't spoilt it doing those contrast adjustments which is good! It is a beautiful little flower, most original!

It looks similar to an aquilegia, but I don't think that's what it is. It's gorgeous. Save me some seeds?
