Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Great photo, Lorraine. You caught their stately postures and vivid colors. I first saw lupines when we visited Maine some years ago, and was impressed by their colors and beauty. They don't seem to grow in the lower South. Our loss.

@Viewfinder: Thanks so much Glenn, maybe you could start a new lupiness ground ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
How gorgeous you framed this beautiful bouquet of colors.
I could not think of their name, but then I saw Glenn's comment. Lupines, they are beautiful.

@Barbara: Thanks Barb, the reason why I remember the names is beaucoup they sound so much like the French Lutin which are little imps lol
