| Does anyone know which larkspur this is? It's a branching type, and has the two-toned colors. It grows to about 4' tall. |

I am pretty sure it is the Rocket Larkspur - Consolida ajacis! A very pretty wildflower I grow every year for the my bumbles who love it!  |

Thanks, Myriam!  I had thought it was probably Rocket. It's nice to have a confirmation.  |

| I'm a bit confused by our DB listings in this area. I added this to Delphinium ajacis, but now I'm thinking it should be moved to Larkspur (consolida ambigua). Any thoughts as to which is correct? |

| Consolida ajacis is the correct name Chelle. Synonyms are Consolida ambigua and Delphinium ambiguum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... |

| Thank you! So, is this entry okay just the way it is, or does it need some adjustments? |

| Sorry Chelle, no the name should be Consolida ajacis not Delphinium.. |
