Delphinium Scaposum Var. Andersonii

Anderson's larkspur, scientifically known as Delphinium scaposum var. andersonii, is a striking member of the Ranunculaceae family native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This rare and beautiful plant is characterized by its tall spires of blue to purple flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. Found primarily in moist meadows and forest clearings, it thrives in cool, shaded environments with well-drained soil. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, Anderson's larkspur is considered endangered, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival. Its unique appearance and ecological importance make it a valuable species worthy of protection and study.
