Ah yes, these come in the most divine colours ever! When I was little there was an old abandoned summer house that had the most amazing overgrown garden full of Delphiniums. We used to climb over the fence and pick arm-fulls of gorgeous flowers for our mothers. Good memories.
Sydney is freezing. Hope it's not too cold down where you are.
I still haven't worked out a way to bring mine inside Leigh & have them last more than 10 mins. before they start dropping all their petals! Someone suggested spraying them with hairspay but I reckon that's a bit cruel - so I've decided we'll just have to admire them in the garden. Millie ^_^
