Pretty! The first place I saw that species was in the Owens Valley in California, Mojave Desert, somewhere S of Independence on US-395. Definitely the western desert version of bluebonnets.
I love the Lupine, and that's a stunning blue! I tried to get both Arroyo and Sky Lupine to grow here, but the gophers seemed to have other ideas about my plantings ;)

ReplyDeleteYes, David,
DeleteA beauty... & such cool foliage!
I love Lupines! And they're so good for the soil since they add a lot of nitrogen back t. The foliage is great, too!
