This also is another flower we got from my wifes boss. I believe it is a columbine but not positive. Do you know if this is what this flower is? Thanks. The flower tends to lean down towards the ground. The flowers are on top of a tall stem maybe 2 to 2 1/2 foot tall stem.

I don't know what it is, but I know it's not a columbine. 
At least, it's not any columbine I've ever seen! My vote would be Jacob's Ladder, although I've only seen a couple with white flowers. Lovely!

I don't know, Bob. I just searched and every picture I can come up with has the outer/back petals in a star shape, and the inner ones more rounded. That characteristic seems to be apparent in the various types/colors of columbine.

This is not Columbine. It is Polemonium. They are very beautiful and a touch to a flower bed.

That looks more like some kind of lily. I've included a photo of the columbine flower that I know of.
Could you get a picture of the whole plant? It might be easier to find out what it is if we could see the leaves and the base of the plant.

Could this be it? This is an oriental lily known as 'Casablanca'.

Nah, sorry. I just noticed that the stamens are a different color. I'm stumped!
