Delphinium Gallery 2002

These pictures show typical flowers grown from the seed of our own hybrid delphiniums.

Our photographs this year show various selected cultivars used in crosses to obtain seedlines. And there are also a couple of shots of the display garden - winter and summer. Click on the thumbnail photo to see a larger version.
