I’ve seen some wild lupine around these parts. Beautifully captured!

Good one! Something about this shot just screams “summer” to me. Okay, maybe “whispers” …

So pretty! They are starting to bloom here on our mesa too. It will be a couple of weeks before they bloom at even higher elevations.

There’s still snow up in the mountains so it will be another month or two before wildflowers bloom up there as well. I’m looking forward to the hike up there to see them.
Thank you so much, Denise!

Yes … wildflowers up in the mountain basins peak in July here. Lupine come first and there is a lot of them lower than the basins.

I know how you’re feeling. I want to get up to the mountains to see the wildflowers but it would futile and a snow shoeing outing still. No wildflowers for a couple of months yet up there. 😀

Do you know what species of lupine it is?

No, but I don’t think it’s Harlequin or miniature. I just call it mountain or wild lupine. Do you know what species it is?

No, I was hoping you might know.

Looking at my wildflower books and online it might be Ski Lupine? Or Silvery? I didn’t realize there were so many different types!! Nearly 200 of them!

Thank you, Deborah. Taken in Iceland, where it was easy to get 1000’s of amazing photos. I won a photo contest with this photo. You are always my inspiration! ❤️

Have you had it printed for yourself to hang in the spring and or summer in your home? If not I think you should print it. It’s special. No smaller than 11×14 inches.
I’m expecting two prints today from recent shoots. I’m on pins and needles hoping they come out well. One is a commission- a friend ordered a print of the Poppies, and the other a sunrise is just for me.

We have some enlarged photos hanging on our walls. We have not printed anything in many years. Do you have a favourite printing company?

I do, but I don’t think they ship outside of the U.S. You can try Bay Photos, and MPIX to see if they ship to your address. If not I’m sure you’ve got some great printers up there too!

In the past we have used London Drugs prints. It may be a Canadian Company. A great idea to refresh some of our walls. 🙂

That’s lupine? Pretty, but not seen around here.

Yes, just one type of Lupine. Really, it’s not there? I’ll have to look up their range. I thought it was one that would be all over the U.S.
I bet that means you have a wildflower we don’t have. Hopefully, I’ll see it or them through your viewfinder one day. 😀🌺
