Baker’s larkspur remains as a single small population along a roadside in Marin County, California, not far from the Pacific coast. This perennial herb grows erect to 45 cm. tall; and features blue flowers in the spring. It was formerly more common in the coastal area, north into Sonoma County, but has been extirpated in all previous locations by land conversion to agricultural purposes.
