1108 - Pink Lupine

Under a very shady tree decorated year round with Christmas lights, this pink lupine surprised us by blooming this summer, its flower stalk over a foot tall.

I vaguely remember planting here late last summer a seed from the one lupine in the gardens not purple.

I am keeping an eye on its seed pods and will harvest as many as I can.

1108 - Shirley Poppy

August has been cool and very foggy.

Though only a few shirley poppies bloomed in the fride (FRont sIDE) garden, they were quite spectacular.

This is a rare, blue variety that reseeded from last year.
