delphinium (larkspur)

native to BC. i think this is delphinium menziesii, but i am not 100% certain, and i foolishly didn't take a good closeup of the leaves and the whole plant. we have several native delphiniums. very toxic; especially to livestock (but also to humans); alkaloids.

achillea millefolium

native to BC, and pretty much everywhere else in the northern hemisphere, i think. ;)

common yarrow is purported to be a diaphoretic, astringent, stimulant and mild aromatic. the genus name achillea is derived from the mythical greek character Achilles, who supposedly carried it with his army to treat battle wounds.
