Aquilegia formosa
It grows to 20-80 cm in height, averaging around 60 cm. Flowers, which can be seen from April to August are about 5 cm long and red and yellow in color.
It can be found in most kinds of habitat (chaparral, oak woodland, mixed-evergreen or coniferous forest). It is not found on desert floors, nor at altitudes above 3300 metres, and it is absent from the Central Valley of California. It prefers moist locations such as stream banks.
Spotted near Lake Spaulding.
