Parry's larkspur ~ 06/02/11 ~ Fort Ord


best guess Parry's larkspur
best guess Delphinium parryi
Ranunculaceae

This is my best guess of a deep blue-colored larkspur ID. There are 2 subspecies listed for Fort Ord, D. parryi ssp. maritimum and D. parryi ssp. parryi. Goodness knows who can tell the difference between Delphiniums, which readily hybridize.
