Nice little plant, but it wasn't planted by me and I'm not sure where it came from.

Same thought I had. Pretty blue.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

It's likely Delphinium grandiflorum or a cultivar of that, there's a few of them of which Blue Butterfly is well known.

Thanks. Delphinium grandiflorum appears to be a match. I wonder how that came about?

Birds can bring you such surprises, or cats, sometimes the wind.

If you let it go to seed, it should show up in other spots next year. They reseed easily, but not to the point of being invasive.

I welcome any blue plant into my yard, and love larkspur and/or delphs for their clear colors. Hurray for you!
