Lupinus

I want to be a snake.... 😃

Mine were like that, flattened by the rain. Its never stopped for days

I have been watering here but have had some rain last couple of days! The ground is still so dry though!

Felt sad not to be allowing these pods to mature!

A sad ending to what could have been new life! I hate not letting nature take its course! 😢

oh thats so sad :(

But the chelsea chop = more flowers!

I'm going to do that this year too!

An aerial shot... Love it!

Looks gorgeous!

Never thought of taking a pic of them from that angle! Fantastic 😍

stunning!!

Gorgeous detail :)

Wow now that is a beauty

Lovely pic, like this colour 😊

Wow lovely picture🤗

Excellent shot of a really lovely lupin💜

These were covered in green and black fly last week, I think they won with a bit of help!

@SylviaDavies Another beautiful vista. Spotted the Welsh lamb in the background. Always believed Scotland had the best views in the UK but maybe I was a little bit biased & will have to think again 🤔

I love Welsh lamb 😋😋

What a difference a couple of days make!

Really lovely

Wish I could be sat in that chair... looks like a great view.

Morning Sylvia loving looking lupine's and a great view too. Can you tell me whether the plant has a strong smell? 💖

Those words should be put to music

@karyn no not really! I have some seeds if you want to try them. Will pop some in the envelope 😃

Aww that's really nice of you!!! Thank you. Do they like the sun? As where I would put them is more sun than shade? It's the same place I'm going to plant the poppies 😍😍💕💕

Most of my garden is in sun to be honest but try them and see. I just stuck seeds straight in the ground and they have taken! Singer self seeded onto a cover matting last year and have rooted there so they are easy! Try and see! 😃

Lol singer = some

Gorgeous

Lovely scenery to go with the beautiful lupins @SylviaDavies

Lovely photo 😊

The first of the lupins. Looking forward to the display of colour!

The border looks great @SylviaDavies

Thank you @titchyfra!

This is beautiful.... your plant selection is inspiring

Thanks @rxsie! It's going to become a bit crammed as things mature but much better than the rugged bulbous grass that was there previously! Getting there slowly!

What colour lupins this year I wonder? Is it true that if they seed you don't know what colour you will get?

They look very healthy! Well done

@gardengimp planted them .I think into the borders from seed! They seem to be self propagating now!

Wps that went as I was editing! I planted then direct into the border!

Wow! Its exciting to see what colour they'll be. Seem to remember their natural colour is purple. Maybe they revert back? Not such a bad thing ;) mine never go to seed, I always chop them at the first sign of going to seed, to force more flower production.

Thanks for the tip @gardengimp 😃

Another plant I don't seem to have much luck with. Don't know whether my south west garden is too damp for them .

We've found that if there grown on the boarder at the back of the garden they die ( to hot ) but if there grown in the semi shade boarder they do very very as long as there roots are kept damp & there feed well lupins are my absolute favourite plant hope that helps @junebensted 😍😍😍

@Hut124456789 thank you
