  • Question

    This looks very similar to Carolina/Prairie Larkspur, but is blooming rather late (now, July) and the foliage seems ‘lacier’ than the photos I can find.

    Answer

    Dear Whbn3, you might try looking at Delphinium acacis (doubtful or rocket larkspur) and its allies. These plants, formerly in the genus Consolida, have much narrower leaf segments than many other species in this alliance. Best wishes.
