Delphinium
Delphinium elatum
(del-FIN-ee-um) (el-AH-tum)
Synonyms: Larkspur
These pretty blue Delphiniums are just a memory now but they were beautiful in their day. Always a star of the border Delphiniums never really disappoint me. They can be a little messy and need staking but it is well worth it. Delphiniums seem to be biennial in my garden with just a few stragglers coming back the following year and I have learned to accept them for that.
Today we woke up to a nice day here. A hint of spring is in the air and temperatures are forecast to rise to the highest level since last October.

I've ordered a few delphiniums for this spring--I hope mine look as good as yours!
I planted some Delphinium in my Virginia garden and I guess the voles got them. Most upsetting. Will try some here, I love the blues and violets of some varieties.
Very beautiful. Can't wait to see my flowers blooming soon.
Gorgeous!
I need to come to your house !
