What is the common name of the flowering plant Delphinium?
"are usually a brilliant blue or purple, and sometimes lighter pinkish to white. Often the sepals are dark in color and the petals lighter. The spur is about one to two centimeters long. There are three subspecies of this plant. The Cuyamaca larkspur (ssp. ""cuyamacae"") is native to the Peninsular Ranges, occurring near Cuyamaca Lake and possibly Palomar Mountain in San Diego County. The ssp. ""hesperium"" is native to the North Coast Ranges. The pale-flowered western larkspur (ssp. ""pallescens""), which has white, pink, or light blue sepals, occurs in the Coast Ranges. Delphinium hesperium Delphinium hesperium is a species of"

The eponymous long spur of the upper sepal encloses the nectar-containing spurs of the two upper petals. The seeds are small and often shiny black. The plants flower from late spring to late summer, and are pollinated by butterflies and bumble bees. Despite the toxicity, ""Delphinium"" species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including the dot moth and small angle"

The flower sepals have a purplish, yellow-green-tinged coloration and the smaller petals are purple to yellow. The sepals reach nearly 1 centimeter in length and the spur may just exceed one centimeter. Most ""Delphinium"" are pollinated by hummingbirds and bumblebees, but this species is visited only by bumblebees. Genetic analysis reveals that this species has high genetic variability and heterozygosity. This plant grows in moist to wet spots in coniferous forest and riparian habitat"

"Delphinium californicum Delphinium californicum is a species of larkspur known as California larkspur. This wildflower is endemic to California, where it is a resident of the chaparral slopes of the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast. It has a long root from which it erects tall stems usually exceeding a meter in height and often approaching two meters. The leaves arise on long petioles and are each divided into as many as 15 fingerlike pointed lobes. The top of the stem is occupied with a very large inflorescence usually containing over 50 flowers.

"Several species of ""Delphinium"" have been reassigned: Delphiniums can attract butterflies and other pollinators. Various delphiniums are cultivated as ornamental plants, for traditional and native plant gardens. The numerous hybrids and cultivars are primarily used as garden plants, providing height at the back of the summer border, in association with roses, lilies, and geraniums. Most delphinium hybrids and cultivars are derived from ""D. elatum"". Hybridisation was developed in the 19th-century, led by Victor Lemoine in France. Other hybrid crosses have included ""D. bruninianum"", ""D. cardinale"", ""D. cheilanthum"", and ""D. formosum"". Numerous cultivars have been selected as garden plants, and for"
