Early in the spring I bought a cell-pack with four small seedlings of Delphiniums. The tag said they were supposed to be "Guinevere" a PG that is pink-lavender in color with whte bees. All of the seedlings grew great, BUT... the first to bloom was this one - a royal purple color with black bees. I think it may be Black Knight; what do you think?

The second one, I am at a total loss, but it is beautiful! It is definitely a PG. A double flower, blue on the outside and lavender on the inside, with a dark bee. Any ideas? Here is a close up of the flowers

Thank you, yes I think you might be right. I looked again and Black Knight does not have a double flower and mine definitely did. Bruce is a much better fit. I wish I had taken a closer picture of those, which are now gone. If they or another stalk blooms again, I definitely will.
