I've Got Lupine's!

Started from seed last spring ... my Lupine's!

These bloom in the second year of growth.

While I will deadhead some of the flowers when they die

off [to encourage a few more blooms] I will leave

one or two flowers heads to dry on the plant to

give me more Lupine seeds.

There is a lighter shade of purple just starting to open.

 I've been babying these little plants from the very

beginning.  It's nice to see the flowers of my labor

finally open up ... I love Lupine's!
