I started some lupine and delphiniums from seeds. My grandchildren helped me. They got mixed up in the planting. This beautiful yellow flower surprised me today. I am not sure whether it is a delphinium or a lupine. Can you help? Thanks!
Very tiny yet, is it delphinium or lupine?

that looks like a columbine to me...our Colorado state flower http://fireflyforest.net/firefly/2005/12/15/golden-columbine/ In the wild we see mostly the purple color.

Agreed - Aquilegia vulgaris. Cut it back to the ground after flowering and seeding (if you want seeds)and in a short time a fresh growth of foliage will sprout. So pretty.
