| The spurs present on most Aquilegia flowers are unique and give rise to its scientific and common names: 1) "Aquilegia", Latin for "Eagle", refers to the Eagle talon-like spurs and 2) "Columbine", from the Latin "columbinus" which means "Dove" and refers to the flower's resemblance (from the rear or side of the flower) to a group of Doves. |
