Not Obviously Peas
There are about 17,000 species in about 640 genera in the Pea Family. Lots of them <I>are</I> kind of weedy - White clover, Alsike clover (<I>T. hybridum</I>), Yellow and White Sweet clover (<I>Melilotus officinalis and M. alba</I>), Bird’s-foot trefoil (<I>Lotus corniculatus</I>) - but there are some other eye treats in the family; cousins which don’t look like cousins. Three such species immediately come to mind; Partridge Pea (<I>Chamaecrista fasciculata</I>), Leadplant (<I>Amorpha canescens</I>), and Sensitive Briar (<I>Mimosa quadrivalvis</I>).

Lots of them <I>are</I> kind of weedy - White clover, Alsike clover (<I>T. hybridum</I>), Yellow and White Sweet clover (<I>Melilotus officinalis and M. alba</I>), Bird’s-foot trefoil (<I>Lotus corniculatus</I>) - but some are more defiant, with big showy flowers, splashes of color, aggressive abundance. Some are butterfly host plants, or nectar sources.

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.
