    They're such pretty colours. :D Enjoy them, you've probably put them in the perfect spot and given them perfect care.

    For how long have you had them? They are very good at self-seeding.

    If you planted red and got pink that could be because of something in the soil. Like Hydrangeas, the more aluminum there is in the soil the bluer it will be; the less there is the pinker it will be. But they are pretty none the less. :D

    Absolutely gorgeous! I have a hard time with them here in my sandy soil, although the wild lupines do fine. Seeing yours, makes me want to try them again.

    I love your Lupins. I started some from seed, but may have to wait till next season to see the blooms. Good job.
