Colorful Lupines


     Lupines are one of my favorite flowers, and over the years I have taken hundreds of photos of them.  It seems I can’t help myself.  A few evenings ago as I was walking back from closing the greenhouse, I noticed these partially shaded lupine in the yard.  The way some of them where illuminated caught my eye, and I just had to snap a couple more photos of the plant.

    Our native lupine are violet in color, but over the years I have planted some pinkish, yellowish, and white lupine, and together they have generated a lot of new hues of colors.  Lupine are hearty plants and can be a bit invasive in spreading themselves, but I don’t mind because I enjoy seeing their long colorful blooms and their wide array of color.
