Title: An Iranian Delphinium, but which one?
Post by: Osian Thierry on May 23, 2017, 12:59:28 PM

Hi all, This is my first post to the forum. Could anyone please help me with the identification of this little Delphinium from the southern slopes of the Alborz mountains, north west of Tehran, Iran.
Many thanks in advance,
Osian

P.s I am currently living in Iran and researching the flora and collecting seeds and plant material with the view to setting up an Iranian Native Plant Nursery, any suggestions of plants you are aware of that would be good additions would be greatly appreciated :) :)

It has been suggested that this white  form may be D. turkmenum ?

 Seems new  delphiniums are being described  still  -    biodiversitas.mipa.uns.ac.id/D/D1802/D180227.pdf
