| Delphinium carolinianum - Prairie Larkspur |
This post title is written in French meaning Native Princess. To me this plant which was recovered from a vacant industrial plot has cast a magical spell on me. Maybe it's because of limiited success with
Delphiniums, which have always died under my hands. Maybe because it seduces me with her spring beauty only to fade away for 6 months and reappear the following spring. Whatever it is, this prairie plant is my favorite this spring. Enjoy.
I had no idea there was a native delphinium. She's a beauty. It's too hot here for the standard delphiniums but I wonder if your lady could call my garden home? I'll have to start looking for a source!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lovely white Delphinium. I had some incredible blue ones for a while, but they died a few years back--not sure why. I just planted some new ones last year, and I'm thrilled that they made it through the winter. One is healthier than the other one, but maybe the little one will catch up with a little TLC. That white one is impressive, though!
ReplyDeleteI don't normally gravitate towards white flowers, but every so often one will catch my eye, and this is one.
ReplyDeleteThis one grows native on my prairie as well, Greggo. A dainty and beautiful forb.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am deeply pea green with jealousy. How beautiful she is! I've never actually seen prairie larkspur in person, to my knowledge, let alone found her to put in the garden. What an excellent find in that industrial lot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful plant Gregg.A great addition and save for your garden.

That is a nice plant, especially where you found it. RR rights-of-way and leftover spaces can really surprise!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous wildflower, so delicate, like a million little orchids on a stem. Glad you got it into your garden Greggo!
ReplyDeleteGreggo, this is a splendid flower and oh so beautiful. Sigh...I miss the prairie!
ReplyDeleteThis is nice. You did good getting it transplanted.
