Lupine

Lupine, originally uploaded by inyopfc.

Huge arroyo lupine patch (Lupinus succulentus) that popped up on the street end of the planter. I am pretty sure these came from a few seeds I grabbed across the ditch and tossed on the ground in the fall... This plant is doing a good job of adding nutrients to the crappy soil it lives in, although the plants under it are probably being smothered.

it smells great, too.
