Pink Larkspur Flower

Spiked flower clusters

Pretty in pink! Known in the botanical world as delphinium consolida, these dainty blossoms are commonly referred to as larkspur. Native to Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean region, pink larkspur is a member of the buttercup family, and is a tall, slender flower featuring multiple floral clusters. The larkspur gets its name from the spur-shaped formation of the calyx and petals and is often compared in style to orchids due to their complex similarities. These versatile beauties can be arranged numerous ways and look as picture perfect in a glass vase at a formal table setting as they do filling a basket or galvanized watering can for an outdoor reception.

If you’re searching for a flower that is filled with romantic meaning, you’ll find larkspurs to be overflowing with charming sentiments. Representing love, strong attachment, pure heart, sweet disposition and desire for laughter, consider including them in your wedding, bridal shower, engagement party or other happy events. Did you know that they also dry beautifully? Hang them upside down in a dark area with ventilation and once dried, use them to create dry arrangements that’ll serve as a memento of your special occasion.
