Here is a plant that showed up in my back yard, unable to tell what it was although it is very pretty.

It looks like some kind of Columbine, Aquilegea

It's a delphinium (same plant family as columbine, the buttercup family) and it could be one of the D. chinense hybrids -- they have that open cluster of flowers instead of the tightly packed spikes of typical garden delphiniums. D. chinense are hardier, so perhaps it's self-sown from a garden escape?
