| 词汇 | delphinium |
| 词源 | delphinium. The dolphin has a home out of water in our gar- dens, at least in the form of the perennial delphinium, which the Greeks named “little dolphin” (delfinium) because they thought the flower’s nectary looked like the marine mammal. There are about 200 species of delphiniums, all of which have a poisonous juice in their foliage. See larkspur. |
