Hi Mark,
That sounds so pretty. Did you ever take pictures of the lupine hill? I love it when they grow wild. Doesn't Novia Scotia have a short growing season. How long did the Lupines bloom for? Someone on this blog was asking me if they (Lupines)…
Hi Dawn, Those lupines are gorgeous. I think they are worth it to keep trying. Did you see what Jennifer said that she tried by seed and it didn't seem to work and then the 3rd year they appeared. That's really cool. I am still waiting from the ones…
Gorgeous. I love Lupine's. I have not had good luck with them, and usually end up replacing and trying again. Those are beautiful. I love the yelllow's and oranges and reds especially.
Oh they are so pretty, that is exactly what I love. Thanks for sharing your story. I know that one has made it from the ones I started it by seed. Now I know to keep watching for them in the years to come. I also have a a few coming around Michigan…

I love lupines. When we lived in England, the garden was full of them, so I guess Verlee is right when she says they prefer cool and damp. I found one lonely one in this garden -- it was a flash of purple in a field of overgrown (wow -- that is the…
Hi, I have lupines that grow wild. They reseed themselves too. I love them! They're really hardy here in Bala Ontario. I've seen them grow wild all over. I hope that you enjoy yours when they come!
We used to live near duluth and I soooo loved the lupines! i tried to grow them once in the south and was not successful. they prefer cool and damp. down in the south, here, I suppose we would need to grow some that are more suited to dry and hot li…

- Hi, I am a Lazy Gardener, but I love my Mom's garden. She composted for years and my Dad used to add ashes and she has a big bountiful flowers she is my inspiration. She shared her Monaradas with me and they all survived the 4 hot hours in the vehicle. I Love Spring in the midwest when you start to see your flowers that have survived another looong winter.
