Delphinium Carolinianum Var. Nortonianum

Delphinium carolinianum var. nortonianum is a rare and striking member of the Ranunculaceae family known for its tall, spiky blooms. Native to the southeastern United States, this plant thrives in moist, woodland environments. Its deep blue to purple flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to native gardens. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its limited distribution and subtle appearance. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique species from habitat loss and invasive species.
