This delphinium sport came up a few weeks ago---What do you think of the leaves? The green ones to the left are the regular ones. Should I try to isolate it?

Nice, Duane. Might that be one of the Pacific Giants?

Actually I'm not sure what kind it is. I lost the tag for it. I did grew it from seed from a trade.

I really like those leaves. IMHO, it would be up to you whether to leave it where it is or isolate it. The color gives a nice bright pop of green among the darker green leaves. I like that kind of surprise and informality but others, of course, don't.

I was thinking more in terms of isolating and collecting seeds from it to see if it might be stable.

My bad. In that case, yes, I definitely would.

Bumping this up for other opinions. I'm no delphinium expert. That looks like a Pacific Giant and I would isolate. But that's just one opinion.

This is beautiful, you could probably divide it when the roots get strong. Be safe, you might be able to get it patented. Green Grin!
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
