Alright, two more: The first one is growing up in my garden (inherited from the last owner, no idea what was in it). The photo was taken about a month ago, and since then the largest of them has a large number of small purple flowers (5 petals, surrounding a purple and white petal that stands up. The second is growing by the side of my house. Both plants have a fairly strong scent when you crush the leaves, but I've never been able to describe scent very well. -Laura
Hmm.. yep. I looked up Larkspur online to get some more photos, and that's definitely it.... the flowers are pretty at least. And I'll keep an eye on the other one to see what, if any, flowers bloom. These plants are in Maryland, so I'm not sure if anything native to Ecuador would survive up here...
