Aconitum (Monkshood )

Monkshood is an old family favourite , I remember it in my grandmother's garden , and I was always warned not to touch it as it was a poisonous plant . However my plant came from my mum and dad's garden - and is still going strong !

@phil_sandford I do not think so Phil , but it is of the same family as Delphiniums - and the leaves are so alike !

It has done so well after all these years . A brilliant shade of blue makes it stand out well against the foliage. Fav

It's beautiful, Beryl. Remembers me of my mother. She had a lovely garden; she loved this 'monnikskap', but she always told us it was poisonous.
