I have something very similar here in our yard. I was going to post them eventually, too! Here are pictures of larkspur: http://www.oceanviewflowers.com/html/Products/Larkspur.htm http://www.innogize.com/wildflowers/larkspur.htm Debby Milo, IA (Zone 5a) July 2, 2001 1:14 AM Post #89208 Mystic: They are larkspurs. They aren't cosmos, but they are sure pretty. They will reseed themselves quite abundately, you will have many more next year. The seed is easy to collect for trading.
