Chloe,
It is certainly not A. discolor. I would guess A. vulgaris subsp. dichroa in Ponte de Lima.

Surprisingly similar to A. saximontana, 5-25 cm according to the Flora of North America.

I completely missed seeing this Aquilegia ID request. The plant certainly has the divergent short spurs, soft transitioning color from the lamina to the cup, and look and feel of A. saximontana, but the foliage color being so dark, so possibly a A. saximontana hybrid. Franz, it's a nice little one that is indeed saximontana-esque. What is your source for the seed or plant?
