Seasonal Changes Some will remember the pictures I posted last fall of the field of tumble weeds. It's late winter now and the field is completely different. Mature grasses are the major vegetation now. In the past couple of weeks the lupin began blooming. This is a common wild flower here in CA. However I remember my mother in MA going to great extent to grow them in her flower beds. Today I took a stroll across the field, got a few pictures of the lupin and some other yellow daisy type wild flowers that were also blooming. I picked a bunch remembering how, as a , I would spend most of the month of May crusing the fields and woods gathering wild flowers. There is a much more limited variety here but it's a small price to pay for not having snow and cold. Spiritwoman ^i^ |

I'd be willing to look out the window at snow but I do have my limits. Kind of like married men - look but don't touch. I'm not familiar with the cone flowers by will check them out. They are likely something recognize but do not know the name. They sound about as invasive as the catnip I planted a couple of years ago. Spiritwoman ^i^

Gorgeous......I love lupin.......especially fields of wild blue lupin. The Department of Highways in BC plants them on newly made banks along highways and roads........they just scatter a lot of seed.....apparently they have these extensive, deep, strong root systems that hold the soil and stops it from eroding. They can reach underground water so they thrive on the dry banks.......They light up the roadsides with blueness...... Spiritwoman ^i^

Me too. The abundance and varieties of wild flowers are one of the few things I miss about the cooler cooler climates. Spiritwoman ^i^
