|discussion=<p><i>Aquilegia vulgaris</i> is cultivated as an ornamental and occasionally escapes into disturbed habitats. Most plants have blue or purple flowers (the wild type), but horticultural races with white or reddish flowers sometimes become established. Many cultivated columbines are derived from hybrids between <i>A. vulgaris</i> and related species. Some of our escaped plants are probably descended from such hybrids.</p>
