larkspur
Tall spiked flower
Larkspur is a flowering plant with tall spikes of blue, purple, pink, or white blossoms, named for the spur-shaped projection on each flower.
Common in gardens and wildflower meadows, larkspurs are toxic to livestock.
The related delphinium is sometimes called larkspur, though gardeners often distinguish between them.
