- Spur
- A spur is a hollow sack, sometimes a spike, often tube shaped, in a blossom. Spurs often carry nectar and are, therefore, considered "nectariferous" (another nifty word to work into a conversation!)
- See the spurs on this "Giant Spurred Columbine?"

What's wrong with me? I can't find the spurs! lol
Look at the flower that is sideways (side view). The long pokey things coming out of the back end are the spurs on this flower.
Gotcha. Thanks.
These are pretty flowers. Are Columbines grown much in central Virgina?
