Lupins

Yellow lupins



















By all accounts there are over 600 different varieties of lupin.
Here are some wonderful yellow one from my garden. There are some red one too but no blue! 
They are such bold and upright plants. 
The flowers are always so large. 
They are usually produced in dense whorls on an erect spike. Each flower can be up to 1cm long.with a typical pea flower shape.  The lupin also has a very distinctive leaf well shown in this photo.
