Got any idea what this is. My friend has it scrambling all over her garden. At first I thought it was a Aquilegia or a Dicentra, but my friend says no. Any ideas

Any chance you could post a pic of it growing in sit.
My first thought was it is a Trefoil, then it could be a vetch but itcould also be yellow fumitory which is a perrenial garden plant that has now become naturalised another pic of it growing in situation should narrow it down.

I believe this is Corydalis lutea.
Now called by the name Pseudofumaria lutea.

yellow fumitory is the common name for Corydalis lutea.
I was on the right track but not confident enough to nail my colours to the mast Silver surfer is never wrong on this site didnt know it had a new name Taxomonists GRRRRRRR
