  7. I planted lupines this year for my butterfly garden. I love the way the leaves have that star-shaped growth. Mine aren't flowering yet, but they look pretty good. I think mine are supposed to be purple. :)

    1. The lupin in my garden are from seeds of wild plants which grow on the cliffs near our home. The seeds were planted two years ago and this is the first time they have flowered
