Delphinium scaposum, the tall mountain larkspur or bare‑stem larkspur, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae.[2] It is native to the desert southwest of the United States, and to Sonora in northwestern Mexico.[1] A perennial reaching 60 cm (24 in), it prefers dry, gravelly soils, and is "avidly" pollinated by bumblebees and hummingbirds.[2]
