Delphinium Flexuosum Var. Buschianum

Blue lupine, scientifically known as Delphinium flexuosum var. buschianum, is a striking member of the Ranunculaceae family native to the mountainous regions of North America. This plant is celebrated for its vibrant blue to violet flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer, adding a splash of color to alpine meadows. Its unique appearance, with tall spires of clustered blossoms, makes it a favorite among botanists and gardeners alike. The plant thrives in well-drained soils and cooler climates, often found in rocky or forested areas. Despite its beauty, Blue lupine is also valued for its ecological role, providing nectar for pollinators and supporting local biodiversity.
