TINE tall larkspur is a ra~nk-growing
plant from four to seven feet tall.
Il The stalks are usually single but
sometimes are found In small
clumps. The leaves are large, especially
those near the base. where they may be
six inches wide They are roundish in
outline but very deeply cleft. The stem
is usually ~unbranched and the lower two
thirds is leafy but the upper portion
forms a large, loose flower spike. The
lower flowers of the spike come into
bloom first and wither before the upper
ones open. The blooming period is July
and early August. The W are about
three-fourths inch in diameter with a
long spur at the base and are pale blue
or sometimes nearly white.
Tall larkspur in bloom is not likely TO
be confused with any other plant. 1t
has some resemblance to aconite, but the
flowers of the latter are dark blue instead
OF whitish and are very different IN
shape. Furthermore, aconite is so rare
that few stockmen ever encounter 1T.
While the larkspur plants are young.
however, they resemble certain species OF
wild geranium which are not poisonous.
There are two means OF distinguishing
between these two plants even before
they come int bloom. The leaves OF

that the lambing percentage in this area
