Title: Pleased with my delphinium's survival PIX

I've always admired your British gardens with huge stands of delphiniums.  These don't seem to do well in our area due to heat and humidity but this one, germinated last year had some small blooms but this year, twice the size!  A prettier one with the white bee didn't survive.
