Delphinium is an English cottage garden staple which acts like a native in my wildflower gardens. The common name of larkspur was shared between delphiniums which are perennial and a Consolida species which are annuals. Larkspur was recently reclassified out of the delphinium family into its own species. They look nearly the same - delphinium has separated sepals and is mainly blue or white while larkspur has conjoined sepals and comes in a wider array of colors.
Take your guess what these are.
I have not had this color before.
Blue Is Rare
As golden Sun is shining bright,blue molecules of light flow out into our atmosphere to blend and fill our space with soft sky blue.
The color blue is so serene, as in our oceans' sapphire tint, or lakes that mirror azure sky in ripples of reflective hues.
Among the flowers of our earth, real blue in blooms is very rare. The few that are will thrill us, like Blue Butterfly Delphinium.
There are no really true blue foods. Most fruits have colors to attract; like tangerine, orange, and plum, or lemon, lime, grape, apricot.
In nature, color blue is rare except for beauty of our sky, or where our waters mirror it. Our color blue, a gift, serene.
