I agree. And especially now when some of us aren't going out much. (Mainly because it's too hot here in Atlanta.) So thank you for these refreshing photos.
These always take me back to my childhood Muffy . They were very popular in the fifties , together with carnations and hydrangea . Mother had many colours of Lupine , of which the rose coloured were my favourite :-) Being a legume , they thrived without fertilizer , which was not available during the War .
Love lupines but have never had much luck with them. It rains hard and the flower get bent and never seem to be straight and tall like the catalog photos. Guess I will just have to admire other people's lupines!
Thank you for your gift of posting such beautiful images. Your time, effort and art are so much appreciated!

ReplyDeleteAnother visual treat. Thank you for keeping them coming!
ReplyDeleteQuite the stunner. Lupines are an addition to a timeless Prince Edward Island vista, cast against the red clay soils and predominant evergreens.

ReplyDeleteTom, Carol and I first encountered this beautiful plant in Novascotia. It's also in Maine we find, in abundance. Thanks for sharing.
