I nominated Delphinium for purple favorites and there are a couple of
native ones, D. decorum and D. paryii that are almost blue or part
blue that I really like. Also there is one that is really a gorgeous
color of blue that I received from NARGS seed as D. menziesii, which
it is not. I don't know what it really is, but I decided to add it
again as a sp. to the wiki, along with a picture of the roots, tuber?
when dormant. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
This is the one I got at a local nursery a few years ago! I didn't know
it was geophytic. But it was so true blue I had to get it. I thought it
was some commercial hybrid of some sort. Mine was short and became
covered in these flowers--there was no flower "spike".
