Treasure of the Sierra Nevada
Other than escaped cultivars and hybrids that grow along roadsides, the Eastern U.S. has little more to offer in the way of lupine than Wild Lupine (L. perennis). California, I have discovered, has over 80 species of this lovely wildflower. There are over 200 species of lupine worldwide. North American species include Sky or Douglas Lupine (L. nanus) with deep blue flowers, Texas Bluebonnets (L. subcarnosus), which is the state flower of Texas, Dove Lupine (L. bicolor) with its blue and white flowers, and Desert or Coulter’s Lupine (L. sparsiflorus), which has blue to lilac flowers. Lupines are members of the Pea Family (Fabacea), an enormous family of trees, shrubs, herbs and vines that includes peas, beans, soybeans, peanuts and lentils.
