LUPINE
Lupine is the common name for about 200 species of annual and perennial flowering herbs, members of the genus Lupinus of the pea family, Leguminoseae. They are characterized by deeply cut leaves with lancelike leaflets radiating from the tip of the leaf stalk. The flowers are predominantly blue, yellow, white, or rose in color and are borne on long-stemmed spikes in May and June. Mostly native to the United States, lupines are cultivated chiefly as ornamentals in gardens. Some, however, are grown as cover and forage crops.
