Spring Wildflowers in Yellowstone
...next up on our trip from Boulder, Colorado to the coast of Washington was Yellowstone National Park. Like Devil's Tower, and along the interstates before it, we weren't sure what, if any wildflowers we might see there. Geysers? Sure. Stinky, sulfuric fart smells. Without a doubt. Bison? Grizzly bears? We hoped so. But wildflowers? We just didn't know.

Tiny Terrorists
There's a charming folk tale from the Pacific Northwest which says that Rufous Hummingbirds migrate north in the springtime on the backs of Canada Geese, and that they return south in the fall by the same method. Charming as it is, it's just mythology. Furthermore, from what I've seen over the past couple of weeks in my backyard, I doubt the geese would put up with the little terrorists, nor would the hummingbirds permit the geese to invade their territory long enough to climb onto their backs!

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&#8217;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.

What does one do when you have 14 distinct and fairly large garden spots, acres of weeds - and a strict threat from the medical people that spending more than 30 minutes a day in the garden may have harmful consequences?
