Lovely Lupins

in #colorchallenge6 years ago

I have one lupin plant blooming in my garden this year, and it is purple

Last year we colleced seeds from the wild lupins growing along the roadside and tossed them in this small hill garden. We did this in the fall because lupin seeds need a period of freezing weather before they will germinate.

Previously it was just weeds covering dry rocky soil, now just look at all the young lupin plants!
They won't bloom this year, but year should bring a colorful display.

Thanks for visiting my garden blog. 🌻

That's a beautiful bold colour! I got 2 colours this year.

I hope to get more colours next year. Most of the wild ones are purple.

Beautiful photo of the blue flowers. Around here lupins are used to make a kind of tofu product... no idea how. Will you also harvest them?

I seem to recall having read that the seeds are used to make flour. I won't be eating them. I have enough vegetables to feed an army here! I just love growing them.
