I am really enjoying the delphiniums this year. Here are my blooms. These first 3 are all in the backyard and are in my Delphinium Blue mix of seeds.

Delphiniums

These are all different cultivars of delphinium - just a few of the many. Just goes to show what a wide range one particular plant can have. They did grow quickly and have all bloomed steadily throughout the summer. The white has not bloomed as well, but that could be due to having it in a container instead of in the ground. I think I am completely hooked on this plant, in all its varieties. *sigh* Now I'll have to get all of them. LOL!

Wow! It's amazing how different they can be. Are the dark blue ones in a sunnier location than the others, or is that just the way they are? I think I had some that were almost purplish. They are beautiful!

Have two of this one growing in the front yard. The blooms on this one appear very delicate and are a very light blue.

This white is presently only in containers - will be planting them in the beds soon.
