Explosion of Blooms

The lupine that I posted about a couple of weeks ago is now in full bloom.  I counted 49 spires of blooms on it!!  (My husband thinks I must have too much time on my hands to have counted them.)    :)







My Mom's favorite flowers were peonies.  It's so special to me to see them bloom!



I love the darker pink color of this lupine. 





My pots are starting to get very colorful.


I spend several months a year (very impatiently) waiting for the good weather.  I am so very happy when it finally warms up and I can be out in my yard everyday! 

Thanks for visiting!

  7. I love lupines. Growing up I thought they were weeds or woldflowers! We used to have a whole side property covered in hundreds of them from back to front in shades of white to dark purple. So pretty.

  12. What gorgeous flowers! I tried growing lupine once when I lived in the Pacific Northwest. I killed something that grows wild. Go figure. You clearly have "The Touch"

  13. Then your husband would think me very crazy as I would not only count the lupines, I'd be sitting in the middle of them while doing so. Gorgeous!!

  17. Hi, visiting from No Minimalist here. Your flowers look gorgeous. Lupines are one of my favorites. A few years ago, at my Highland home I had one so large that people thought it was a bush. I planted two last year at our new home. Just started to bloom. Still a bit small.
