Pretty Flowers

They are lupine. Delphinium have different leaves and bloom later. I planted some lupine in my front yard, but it doesn't get enough sun to actually blossom.

We have Lupines here too, but not sure they're out yet. Very pretty!

What a nice street you live in!

Truly lovely. I have grown Lupine from seed, they are actually quite easy to do and one of the prettiest flowers ever. Your flower bed is very lovely.

I love lupine! You have some lovely ones there, Barry. Dark pink and blue, the lighter pink aren't as striking, to me. Anyway, after I saw them, THEN I see you are asking what they are, and of course several folks have replied. They are quite common in Maine, where I lived for 5 years.

Thanks everybody!!! I don't think we have Lupine here. I was going to say that at first but I thought the leaf looked like something else. They are beautiful!!! I would love to have some in my yard.

Maybe Foxglove are in the same family?

I believe Foxglove is Digitalis, the heart medication. Make sense??

Yes, they are definitely Lupines and the Foxglove's name is Digitalis. There are many varieties of Digitalis, so there's a second name for the plant, but the derivative is the same as the heart medication.
