Granted, they are in a shallow pot with wild flax,yarrow,poppies in a hard sandy soil mix, but i still dont see why they'd be so slow to grow and delicate.Anyways, hope we see more of your annuals soon Jess :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365580044353260297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301462538120435872.post-32104709205806537762011-03-27T15:57:12.933-07:002011-03-27T15:57:12.933-07:00You got it, I'll collect the seeds. Won't ...You got it, I'll collect the seeds. Won't be for a while because at the moment I don't see any flower buds, but the plant seems to be very healthy, so I'm assuming it will flower again and I'll let you know when the seed pods ripen. I know what you mean about snails--lupines do seem to be particularly susceptible. I don't know why my giant lupine made it. Slight update on the Lupinus latifolius I said all got eaten by snails last year: the other day I noticed that one of them is barely still surviving and has a couple leaves. I'm crossing my fingers that the snails overlook it this time, and it gets to mature into a real plant!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15272700674477772662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301462538120435872.post-78840377827508640892011-03-25T12:45:05.087-07:002011-03-25T12:45:05.087-07:00Really gorgeous!

Yesterday, I found snail eight feet up in my lemon tree. This rain is too good for those slimy creatures. <br /><br />I'm working on the snail problem, and would LOVE some lupine seeds!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301462538120435872.post-56567667353809522672011-03-10T07:22:55.129-08:002011-03-10T07:22:55.129-08:00Wow!

It does look like <i>Lupinus succulentus</i>, except that it's <i>gigantic.</i> Which I suppose would tend to happen if one survived an entire year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
