Tall Larkspur Wild on the Edge

By
Published:
675 Views

Description

Delphinium exaltatum runs native and wild at the edge of the prairies at the Edge... beauty at the perimeter, light at the woodland fringe meeting prairie... as spoken by the rocks and the soils therefore borne... not far from the cedars

This sweetie-pie flutters like a violet-blue butterfly... butterflies do flock to the flowers.

She is in the Buttercup Family.

Living free and wild at the Edge of Appalachia preserve system (TNC, Cincinnati Museum) in the hills of Adams County in south-central Ohio.

Those little funny mustaches the flowers have are sometimes called "bees" in cultivated Delphiniums. F'in cute to me. This one is a native wild species, though rare (threatened actually) here in Ohio. Larkspurs, like a number of other members of their buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) are quite poisonous, still cute.
