Delphinium glareosum

rockslide larkspur

Ranunculaceae

This herbaceous perennial grows 10-80 cm tall with vivid blue-purple flowers. The spreading blue sepals are spurred and are more showy than the white central petals. The leaves are rounded in outline but palmately divided. Rockslide larkspur is fairly common at middle to upper elevations along streambanks and in wet meadows.
