| wow it looks so soft. I love the color and that bee is fantastic. Do you know the name of it? I've wanted to try to grow these for years. Thanks for sharing Karyn |

| Thanks, Karyn! Sorry, I don't know the name. Quite a few years ago a friend moved to Maine and brought the delphinium to me as a small plant. All I can tell you is that it's very tall and has surprised me by doing so well even after all these years, including a period when the whole garden was rather neglected. It's not even staked at the moment. I think it's being held up by volunteer phlox. :-) Susan |

| Hi Susan, Glad to hear it's doing well and phlox are multi-purpose. I'll keep that in mind. Their stalks are quite sturdy. Again great picture you should have it framed. If I had a blue room in my house I would ask for a copy of it.... MMMMM...Maine can you say lob-staaaa'.....Maine is 1 hour away and we go quite often for seafood. Karyn |

| Hi Susan, Well your delphinium has won me over and I think I have found it. Here is a link, what do you think? It's about mid way down the page. "Delphinium http://www.theheirloomgarden.com/Perennials.html Thanks |

| Yes, that's it. I don't know if mine had a name other than delphinium, but it looks just like the picture. And it's about 5' tall. I hope you'll grow some. And then I hope you'll take a picture. Speaking of which, I took a picture of the whole plant yesterday. I'll go get it out of the camera and into this thread right now. Susan |

| Well, it's not a great photo. It isn't even a good photo. I try to avoid shooting in bright sun. I think this was at the end of the day, so I thought I could get away with it. But it'll give you an idea of the bigger picture, so to speak. I think the bent-over tip was the result of the violent hailstorm we had earlier this week.
