I don't know what these are called but I see them all the time.

The bottom one is what I'd know as a lupin - the garden cultivated version - over here.

This thing was huge, at least four foot high and two feet wide. Do they grow that big?

Blue Witch said...

Yes! You have to dehead them before they set seed to keep them flowering though. The slugs and snails love them, sadly.

We plan on going back to the Grand Lake Lodge in about a month and I hope it is still blooming then. I think it is so beautiful.

Lupins actually seem to grow bigger in the wild....the most wonderful I've ever seen was approaching Lake Tekapo in the Southern Alps, New Zealand....as they're originally Alpine plants perhaps they like the mountain air?
