Etymology
The word 'larkspur' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the term 'larkespeore', which referred to a flower that resembled a lark's foot. The name is thought to be a combination of 'lark,' a type of bird known for its singing and its association with open fields, and 'spurs,' describing the distinctive spur-shaped projections of the flower's petals. This botanical name was influenced by the Latin name 'Delphinium', but its common use in English can be traced back to the early 14th century. Larkspurs have been cultivated for centuries, and their beauty has made them a popular choice in gardens, particularly in Europe and North America.
