All in prime condition
Mary MacADNski: The cool spring has helped them last a bit longer this year.
Beautiful colors! I love lupines!
Mary MacADNski: They are wonderful along our roadsides.
lovely purple pink tones
Mary MacADNski: Lupines can come in wonderful colours.
Purple, pinks & green... so lovely. I recently posted purple flowers @ http://pixiepixels.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Purple_Puffs_Among_The_Green_/
Mary MacADNski: Yes, I remember them.

Lupins again. This season they look the best so far. Great shot.
Mary MacADNski: The cool spring has helped them last a bit longer.

You certainly have beautiful views from your deck, Mary. These are a delight.
Mary MacADNski: I wish I had a young, strapping gardener. I would sit on the deck forever.
Every time I have tried to grow lupins they disappear, eaten by slugs and snails, these are beautiful smile
Mary MacADNski: Slugs and snails - my enemy!
nice colours and composition......
would make a great screen background
Mary MacADNski: It would be nice and bright.
These look great in this natural setting Mary.
Mary MacADNski: They look wonderful in a vase too.
See I love Lupins, reminds me of a neighbours garden when I was a nipper smile
Mary MacADNski: They are everywhere here.
I always envy your lupins as I just cannot grow them smile
Mary MacADNski: Do they grow in the wild there? For some reason they don't grow well in gardens.
Lovely shot - I hate it that I find them wild along the motorway in Sweden and I can't grow them in the garden!
Mary MacADNski: This has happened to so many people, my mother included. She got some one year after numerous tries but they didn't return the next year.

They are pretty!
Mary MacADNski: They are - even nicer in a vase.
Aren't they just the most fabulous flower Mary.....they can grow anywhere and are so beautifulsmile

After the eruption of Mount St. Helen in 1980....the first vegetation that grew back through the ash was one bright red Lupin....i can't remember now where i read it but i found it when i posted some of them last summersmile....petersmile
Mary MacADNski: That is a great fact about Mount St Helen. Lupins are pretty tough. With our cool spring wildflowers seemed to have lasted a bit longer this year.
Laughing at your naughty comment to Alan.

Lovely lupin capture, Mary, and I agree, they do make beautiful flower arrangements.
Mary MacADNski: It's true. I just got off the lawn mower and the gardening work never ends. I am missing time here because I have none spare due to outside work.
