Delphinium
In the Buttercup or Ranunculaceae, Delphiniums are also called Larkspur.
The delphinium name is derived from the Greek word for dolphin.
If you pick a single bloom from the tall spike on the plant, you’ll notice it looks like a leaping dolphin from the side.
The Delphinium flower’s message is protect yourself from the dangers of life so nothing stands in the way of your success.
If you want to grow your own Delphiniums, here are some tips.
Propagation Seeds – like to be chilled in-ground before germinating.
Root division (cutting root ball)
Mercedes has some zany tips for keeping the Delphinium stalks hydrated from when you buy them to when you pop them into the vase.
Tip 1: Fill the hollow stalks with water, then plug them up with cotton wool.
