It is along all the road sides and ditches everywhere. My own road is lined with lupins and there are drifts up my driveway in pinks,blues, purples and whites. It makes a beautiful scene during early summertime. I usually pick bouquets of them to have in the house and on the patio. They usually stays in bloom for about six weeks, starting the beginning of June and in late August we then get another flush of flowers.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers as the paint and the soil and sky as the canvas.
A tip on cutting lupins for keeping them in vases. Fill the hollow stalks with water and block the bottom with a cotton ball. This will stop them flopping over in the vase. A little tip I learned a long time ago at my Garden Club. This pic was taken about a minute away from my house, on the way to our lighthouse.
