Hi Cynthia
So far mine are blue with white bees. Overall, not much more spectacular than those I have, but I shall refrain judgement until they are in full bloom.
Penny in Halifax, N.S. who was hoping for some other colours - I have differnt shades of blue, pink and white.

Well let me see, I got dark blues with black bees, dark double blues, light
blue with a white bee, light mauve blue, and Terry sent me a freebie
package of blue mix. (Can ya tell I like blue flowers LOL).
As soon as I got the seeds I started them under lights. I do believe I had
close to 100% germination. I've got several planted out in my front yard,
and another big batch that I'm going to leave in pots. Depending on how
well they look, I may plant some in the Fall, but I think I'm going to
overwinter some in pots in case I lose all the ones I've planted.
I love delphiniums and I hope to have a spectacular show in my front yard
next year.
Cynthia
