Description
A detail of Larkspur blooms enhanced with a digital pencil effect. This is one of a small group of images that have been shot to resemble some illustrations in a book. They are over 300yrs old and very beautiful. Delphinium is a genus of about 300 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native throughout the Northern Hemisphere and also on the high mountains of tropical Africa. The common name "larkspur" is shared between perennial Delphinium species and annual species of the genus Consolida. Molecular data shows that Consolida, as well as another segregate genus, Aconitella, are both embedded in Delphinium. The name "delphinium" derives from the Latin for "dolphin", referring to the shape of the nectary.
