Did you know

Larkspur is named for the spur on the back of each flower, which resembles a lark's claw.
It's the birth flower of July, traditionally associated with new opportunities and an open heart.
Larkspurs are closely related to delphiniums but are typically annuals while delphiniums are perennials.
All parts are highly toxic — historically used to make ink and to treat lice in livestock and humans.
Greek myth says larkspurs sprang from the blood of Ajax after he killed himself in shame, the petals marked with the letters 'AI' for his name.
