Riddarsporre, Delphinium sp.
Many species are cultivated as garden plants and for flower arrangements, with numerous cultivars available.
All parts of the plant contain an alkaloid delphinine and are very poisonous, causing vomiting when eaten, and death in larger amounts. A tincture is used against asthma and dropsy.
The juice of the flowers, mixed with alum, gives a blue ink.
In Transylvania, it was used to keep witches from the stables, probably because of its black color.[citation needed]
Larkspur, especially tall larkspur, is a significant cause of cattle poisoning on rangelands in the eastern United States. Larkspur is more common in high-elevation areas, and many ranchers will delay moving cattle onto such ranges until late summer when the toxicity of the plants is reduced.
Blåklint, Centaurea cyanus (Cornflower, Bachelor's button, Bluebottle, Boutonniere flower, Hurtsickle) is a small annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe.
In folklore, cornflowers were worn by young men in love; if the flower faded too quickly, it was taken as a sign that the man's love was not returned.
The blue cornflower has been the national flower of Estonia since 1968 and symbolizes daily bread to Estonians. It is also the symbol of the Estonian political party, People's Union, the Finnish political party, National Coalition Party, and the Swedish political party, Liberal People's Party, and has since the dawn of the 20th century been a symbol for social liberalism there.

Vakre foto av noen nydelige blomster. Utrolig vakre blånyanser du har fanget!
Ha en fortsatt fin søndag kveld!
I find taking pictures of blue flowers very difficult.
Is the last picture Nemophila menziesii (Baby Blue Eyes)?
Beautiful blue flowers. I loive them all.
Blue is always beautiful in the garden. Now, the stately, blue Agapanthus are flowering.
Amazing, your blue flower photos. Hard to imagine the delphinium being poisonous, but nature is not always so friendly. Love the crepe paper look of that flower's petals.
God kväll Maria! - du är ju utbildad inom det där - jag kör bara mjölken...
Jo, blomman heter "Prins Gustafs öga", och finns även i en svart, läcker variant.
Latinskt namn:"Nemophila menziesii"
Ettåring, som gärna självsår sig. Söt marktäckare, och bra att odla i kruka.
Jag gillar den härliga blå färgen, men jag är ju även stor älskare av riddarsporrar...
Vackra bilder du visar - jag har varit upptagen med att jobba sedan i fredagseftermiddag, varit på kalas, och jobbat igen, men snart ska jag ha min lång,långa långledighet...
Ha det!
hälsn

I LOVE your blue blossoms.
Yes, I grow scilla, campanulas, love-in-a-mist...hmmm. That's all I can think of right now. Summer seems so far in the past!
Those blues are gorgeous.
What a great entry you have! Worth visiting here. Mine is up! Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless!
Vackra blåa blomster, igen, dina fotografier är bara helt underbara!! Blomstrena på den sista minner lite om mitt blålin, men den har mindre blad, bara som små tappar, så jag är osäker.. Men jag var helt säker och överbevisad om att du om någon förtjänar en best blogg award, så jag sänder den till dig :)
I love all the blue flowers, Maria, and you provided so much information about each of them. Happy Blue Monday.
Our flowers are now gone, so I especially loved to see those from your summer garden. Have a great Blue Monday and enjoy the week to come.
Beautiful flowers Maria. All so enjoyable!
