Crafted from Merino grade A sheepskin, the classic surf boot is lightweight and perfect for walking on sand. The idea caught on and today UGG® boots have become a phenomenon.

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) bloom again in fall and I didn't know the answer.

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 I ordered from Michigan bulb. I hope they know we don't have that much growing time left for planting here in MN.

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 Bulb.

I have lupines I grew from seed. I tried for a couple year & gave up when nothing happened. Then the 3rd year they just suddenly appeared & now they have taken over their garden. They also happen to be in a garden that gets 75% sun, but because they are kind of crowded now the soil is able to stay pretty moist.

Are there any varieties of lupines that bloom in fall?

Thanks for all the great information on the Lupines. I can't wait to grow them in my garden. I started some by seed in the basement but I think only one made it through the hardening off. I like the idea of having them in the back against a fence.
A further note for you Lynn -- the lupines in England were at the back of the border, against a fence. They needed staking as they were growing very tall. So pretty! We had lower plants in front of them hiding the stakes.
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 byword for my garden) oriental poppies. I have moved it out of harms way, and it has taken a dreadful shock over the move. I hope it comes back next year.
