Blooming Past – Delphinium Dried Flowers for Stylish Time Travel
Color with History
Blue like the sky over Pompeii, proud like the gardens of Roman villas – Delphinium, better known as larkspur, was no stranger even in ancient times. Its slender stems and vibrant flowers were symbols of elegance, protection, and quiet strength.
In historical gardens, larkspur was not just for decoration: it was believed to ward off evil spirits – a Roman hortus without such flowers? Unthinkable. Today, it brings back this magic: as a long-lasting dried flower, it preserves the flair of past centuries – decorative, stylish, and absolutely authentic.

Old Forms, New Stage
Whether in a school project, as a prop for an exhibition, or as part of a Roman altar – the Delphinium provides an authentic ambiance. Ideal for educational scenes about Roman botany, god worship, or garden design.
It also looks great in the living room: combined with lavender, linen, and mirror mosaic, it creates an arrangement that is both antique and modern.
Craft with History
DIY has rarely been so steeped in history: for creative minds, the stem opens up new design possibilities. How about a “Botanical Time Travel” in art class or a miniature exhibition in the classroom?
The result? A combination of decoration and knowledge – visually illustrative, long-lasting, and stylish at once.
