I found the quote "...larkspur also has yellows, oranges, reds and maroons." rather interesting information, but don't think I've ever seen one in either of those colors. Have a wonderful birthday!

It makes...What a gorgeous thing that waterlily is! It makes me want to get a water-tight stock tank to grow water lilies (although I can only imagine what the raccoons might do with that). Larkspur and waterlily are MUCH better birth flowers than lilies of the valley and hawthorn, both of which are lovely but neither of which grow here. (Well, Indian hawthorn, Raphiolepsis, does but it's rather boring.) <br /><br />Happy birthday! <br />P.S I always associate your b-day with lilies because I remember they bloom up your way this time of year.

Thanks for the link to how they're different, I always just thought larkspur was like Delphinium, but an annual. The flower looks very like a delph, but not as robust, more airy. <br /><br />Oh, and Happy Birthday!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
