Delphinium

Hi,

I've added some more Delphinium pictures to the wiki. Some of the species
are tuberous and some fringe geophytes I realize, but I still love to grow
them and find the ones I grow do best if I treat them like some of my other
native bulbs and grow them in containers kept mostly dry in summer. I can
grow Delphinium nudicaule and Delphinum luteum successfully in the ground,
but some of the others that I have planted out have not returned. I've
tried some in my raised beds in containers sunk in containers and so far
that seems to be working. Last year Delphinium cardinale did really well
that way, but I needed to stake it since it got so tall and floppy. I've
replaced some of my old pictures and added some new ones. I have a bit of
seed of a couple of them for the BX I'll get to Dell one of these days so
wanted to be sure there were current pictures. And I divided the page since
it was getting long.

New pictures of D. cardinale, D. luteum, D. nudicaule, D. recurvatum, and
D. variegatum.
Delphinum recurvatum I grew from Northwest Native seed and it is a new
addition to the wiki.
