   Love the gorgeous soft color shades in your image and the detail is quite special.

   It looks like a columbine that hadn’t fully opened. I’m not sure if it’s a native plant or introduced though.

     I suspect that it was introduced. I took the photo at a botanical gardens and they had some pretty exotic looking columbines, including some that look like they were double in size.

   Nice soft muted pastels – lovely.

     Thanks so much. I don’t take a lot of flower photos, but love the colors of this one too.

   The very new columbine flowers in my yard are also pink just before they open. I suspect if you went back and found it (might be hard to do), it would be brilliantly red now.
