Nearby a patch of intergrading Aquilegia pubescens and Aquilegia formosa; see my other photo for an image of clearly intergrade plants. I judged this individual to be pure pubescens, but it's possible it's a pubescens-like intergrade.

According to John Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Biology at Mills College, who led me to this flower, it probably is a hybrid between Aguilegia formosa (Photo ID 1073 3282 1658 0021) and Aquilegia pubescens (Photo ID 1073 3283 1658 0022). Both parent plants are only a few feet away.
