Columbine Flower

We went to the home improvement center today to get some things we needed around the house. As usual, I went into the garden shop and snapped some pictures of the flowers. This Columbine was among the 90 or so pictures I took. Click image for larger view.

They are known for their distinctive flowers, generally bell-shaped, with each petal modified into an elongated nectar spur.
