This is a tiny, delicate thing called Aquilegia viridiflora.

This is actually just a double vulgaris (I think), but it looks unusual.

Hi Gardenfiend,

The Aquilegia viridiflora looks nice.

A. viridiflora reminds me of some fritillaria. I like it. How does it perform in the garden?
Your double does look different than the few I've grown. Will it open more?

Viridiflora is a great little aquilegia but it must have free draining soil. It never liked my heavy clay soil very much. Lovely photos Gardenfiend

Well Mara, you did it again. I found out Gardens North has the seed, sooo, they are heading my way (along with a few other things!).

Terry the germination rate for viridiflora is very low. Make sure you follow the sowing instructions on the packet very carefully.
