The Lilacs are already starting to die off...but the Lupine are popping up everywhere! This weekend starts the three week Lupine Festival in Sugar Hill and Franconia.
This evening I decided to take a walk in the Lupine fields.
I don't know how to describe the smell of a Lupine field...it is not overpowering but very distinct.
The birds were singing and bees were buzzing by and then I heard a hummingbird and got a glimpse of him before he took off like a shot.
I walked around where a foundation of an old house overlooks the mountains and a field of Lupine. It almost has the feel of an old castle.
The mountains looked beautiful as the sun began to set.
I walked through another field of Lupine...
...and asters...
...and slugs...
...and soft ferns growing along stone walls.

i know Texas bluebonnets are a form of lupine so i know their distinctive, sweet yet pungeont scent. your lupines grow much taller than bluebonnets tho. they're lovely! love the ferns!
The photos are very nice, i like it
Beautiful Pictures, lupines are my favorite plant. We go to the White Mountains every year and see them growing wild on the side of the roads. I started a few from seed this year, but they still have a long way to go before I see any blooms.
I am having technical difficulties with posting comments on my own page and other people's pages. I just found a workaround by posting as "anonymous".
Thanks for your compliments...Lupine season is one of my favorite times of the year. It is so nice to see them growing wild everywhere...
