My great uncle calls these honeysuckles, but the common name is Red Columbine. Aquilegia canadensis is a perennial native to eastern North America. The flowers are red and yellow, and it blooms early in the season. It grows well in a variety of conditions.

I’ve had Canada Wild Ginger (Asarum canadense) growing in several places around my house for years.
