The year of the Lupine

I've always wanted to grow lupines. They never did well for me in Pennsylvania.
Here in Montreat they seem really happy.
I go out and visit them several times a day and say thank you. Lupines symbolize imagination
Shout out to Painters Nursery for the great plants.And Miss Rumphius the lupine lady.

Are they native?
Surely this is fairy habitat.

I was wanting to put a lupine poem here and couldn't find one that I liked. leaave me a comment if you have a good one. leave me a comment anyway.
