Lupine time!
Jun. 6th, 2016 02:11 pmThe lupines are blooming again. I think they started last week, but as I worked from home Wednesday through Friday I wouldn't know. Some very awesome person in the Department of Transportation must have decided to not mow the grass by the highways until late June, just to show off the flowers. They grow best along roadsides, and the drive down the highway to work has patches of purple with the odd pink or white stalk. I love it, and it starts and ends the day nicely.
My sister got the book Miss Rumphius for one of her birthdays, and I really liked the story about how she became the Lupine Lady and made the world more beautiful. I had ideas about that as a kid, none of them panned out. Still, great story.
Wikipedia has some good pictures, if they don't grow near you.
