Thank you, everyone. I have no idea what cultivar Delphinium it is, the original isn't that great a photo, so sideways was a perfect use. But there is a partial name plate, if anyone can fill in the covered letters and figure out which it might be.

Beautiful color! I can't grow delphinium here, they are too delicate.

I always thought Larkspur was just the common name for Delphiniums, but then I've never grown them so not very familiar with them. Looking through the database it looks like it might be 'Aurora Blue', but that doesn't match with what looks like might start with "Dark" for the common name... unless they're calling Dark Blue Larkspur? But then, I have run into a few wrong name plates there, just to add more confusion! Hilarious!
