Aquilegia
Aquilegia (Columbine; from Latin columba "dove") is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers.
Several species are grown in gardens, including the European Columbine (A. vulgaris), a traditional garden flower in many parts of the world.[4] Numerous cultivars and hybrids have also been developed as well. They are easy to propagate from seed.
Thought they are wildflowers found growing during summer in the valley.

Thank you so much, Alice! I now find that columbines come in many colors and different shade combinations! Fascinating and lovely flowers!
We call it Coilumbine and it is very lovely.
