These pictures show typical flowers grown from the seed of our own hybrid delphiniums.
The pictures this year are mainly taken in our display garden or in our seed trial beds - some of the blooms are from seedlines, some from cutting grown clones.
Our display garden taken in early September
The display garden taken in lat October, 7 weeks after the previous photo
The display garden in full flower taken 3 weeks after the last photo. The pale pink delphinium in the foreground is Pink Sensation (not one of our breeding), the other delphiniums are all New Millennium Delphiniums
