Just type "Canadian columbine" or "Aquilegia canadensis" into your web browser. I just came up with over 300,000 links, including the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquilegia_canadensis

Hello! In any case, it's a beauty to combine with Hostas, ferns and other North American woodland natives in a shady garden. It's short-lived but self-seeds pleasantly, and is also relatively resistant to the nasty Columbine borer.
The common names, and my preference aside, the USDA does indicate that its distribution pretty much covers the eastern half of the North American continent.
One recent form that is particularly impressive is 'Little Lanterns' which is a shorter version, but also seemingly more prolific in it's flower production. Here's a two-year-old plant with an impressive number of flowers.
