That is great news :) It is a pretty plant!
Thanks Tiz! I did some searching and I believe it is Arizona Monkshood (Aconitum infectum Greene).
Hi NickIrvine1!
This looks like som kind of Aconitum! Many of the Aconitum species are very poisonous if you consume the plant in some way. It is a prerennial plant as well.
I hope this helps. /Tina
