Delphinium pyramidatum

This entry was posted while I was on vacation, hence the brief written accompaniment. -- Daniel

No English common name for this plant, which is not surprising since it is exceedingly rare in cultivation and barely known outside of its native Caucasus Mountains. The E.H. Lohbrunner Alpine Garden at UBC is one of the few places outside of its native range that it can be seen.

Anonymous - yes, in the broad sense, in that it is indeed a larkspur.
