I have a few growing in my gardens right now, and hope to have lots more next year The second one I'm not sure about, but it is rather cute. Edit to add: Just looked up the second one- it looks to be Heal-all Prunella Vulgaris. It's a non-native flower with a low, creeping habit Blooms May-Sept. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Delphinium virescens), Prairie Larkspur: http://botany.cs.tamu.edu/FLORA/dcs420/fa01/fa0101 8.jpg http://botany.cs.tamu.edu/FLORA/dcs420/mi01/mi0104 6.jpg Seed pod: http://botany.cs.tamu.edu/FLORA/hdwimages1/hdw0879 09.jpg Those links above & other similar pix at this site: http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/imaxxran.htm Prairie Larkspur found on this page: http://www.crexmeadows.org/past_flowers_of_the_wee k.htm#larkspur If not the one above, then one to consider: Consolida ajacis, (Delphinium ajacis, Consolida ambigua) Rocket Larkspur (Doubtful Knight's Spur). Compare your plant/foliage to this illustration, see if it's a match. http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=COAJ ~remove any spaces from url~ Quote \| Reply \| Report
