Delphiniums early in the morning
Description Delphinium, common name for any of about 250 species of annual and perennial flowering plants of the buttercup family. Delphiniums are native to the northern hemisphere worldwide. The flowers, which grow on spikes, are usually blue or lavender, but white, red, and yellow species exist. The flower consists of five large sepals with four to six spurred petals at the center. The leaves are deeply divided. Some species grow to 2.5 m (8 ft) or higher. Many varieties have been developed as garden flowers. In the wild, some species contain poisonous alkaloids such as aconitine (see Aconite) that can cause severe illness or even death in grazing animals. Delphiniums are also called larkspurs, but the garden larkspur belongs in another genus.
