Lark Spur looks like a dolphin with clusters of flowers
The flowers bloom in vertical clusters at the end of the stalk and form a spur. The group is said to resemble a dolphin, hence the Latin name Delphinium. Usually, they consist of five irregular shaped petals that have a hollow center where the flowered spur sits. The long stem is smooth and rigid with grey-green leaves that branch out from the stem. The seeds are used for medicinal properties and also as an insecticide.
