We came across a striking looking flower hidden in our friends garden
amongst the aquilegias. Can anyone identify it please?

A geum, a yellow one. You have also aquilegia in there and geranium
(some blue petals are amongst the plants).

Hmm. It's a pity the camera decided to focus on the leaf at the expense
of the flower! From the leaf I'd suggest globeflower (Trollius
europaeus) , but it doesn't seem to have quite enough petals. But the
centre of the flower suggests it is some member of the buttercup family,
so globe flower is probably right.

I think the blue petals ( and the white) are from the Aquilegia. I like that
colour blue and don't think there is a geranium matching it.

Leaves are wrong for a Geum, surely? Geum leaves have pinnately arranged
serrated lobes. The leaves of the plant in the question are deeply
divide palmately arranged lobes.

I'd agree the petals are from the aquilegia. Perhaps La Puce is thinking
that the lobed leaves are geranium rather than belonging to the yellow
flower? - they are similar to geranium leaves but not quite right.

Thanks folks, after searching through flower pictures in the
Ranunculaceae group all night I have come to the conclusion that it is
probably a Trollius Asiaticus
http://www.stauder.net/bildearkiv/Trollius%20asiaticus%20SL. jpg
that is just about to open fully.

Indeed. In my garden, flowers grow through other plants and give the
impression that a flower, say marguerite, would belong to the fatsia
leaves because it is growing through it. I like this very much :o)

Here is the blue geranium in my garden. The leaves are very similar to
the OP's picture.

http://cjoint.com/?giltf6kFT8

This is the Johnson's one, which I would like one day .... :

http://cjoint.com/?gill7bu6iX

And here is the yellow geum. My geum is red but start yellow and keeps
a yellow rim on the red petals. I'm really happy about this as I
thought I had a yellow and was very dissapointed. Anyhow the leaves are
very much like the one on the OP picture. And the flower is indeed like
the ronunculus ones - buttercup family - like the geum.

How your sentence is meant to fit together is ambiguous - are you
claiming that Geum is ranunculaceous? (It's rosaceous.)

True - a bit blur though - but true. Every details count indeed :o)

Nonono! I'm saying that the flower is like a ronunculus one, buttercup
family and similar, simply just *similar* of the geum. Janet pointed
out that the stamens are higher than the rim of the petals - a detail
which rules out the Geum posibility.

Hmm.

Leaves look like heuchera - similar to

http://tinyurl.co.uk/qxxd

Flowers I'm almost certain don't belong to it - I'm pretty sure they're
Herb Robert, and belong to the green leaves that you can see underneath
the red leaves.

Herb Robert seeds itself around with abandon and can become a nuisance.

Looks like that small discrete label says Purple so my guess is Heuchera
palace purple:-)

We all like a quiz. I could only see the word purple and it would not
surprise me if all the labelling said was "purple plant" same as Morrisons
have a habit of labelling things as "Hardy perennial".

I think that (discreet) lable reads "all purpose" which perhaps is
even more vague than " Hardy perennial ".
