Pistil, I think my aconitum species routinely blooms this late.
I just went out today and both my blue (A carmichaelli Arendsii) and bicolor (A x cammarum Bicolor) are totally budded up, but just barely starting to bloom.
I only found a single bloom of Arendsii practically lying on the ground. And I\'ve been disappointed in Bicolor - the white portion just looks muddy to me. I\'ve been hoping it would improve with maturity, but the plant is a beast (maybe 7ft tall) and no improvement. But these are just the earliest of blooms, so maybe when all those other buds open it will look better.
