Wordless Wednesday - Lupine Lane 2011







Too many aphids...

...for a lone lady beetle's diet.

Aaarrgghhhh! Those darn aphids! I hate 'em! Your Lupines look fantastic though.

So pretty! I cannot grow the things so I will enjoy your Lupines. That Ladybug will take care of those aphids. Hope you are enjoying your summer.

Hi Aerie-el - Your blog looks fantastic! Love the header photo and the lupines are wonderful. They are biennial and none of them showed up in my garden this year... You've inspired me to start over!!! :-)

You are a Lupin lady! My lupins from seeds are just babies yet. And those which I bought in HD last year never showed up after the winter. I think lupuns just don't like me, the same as delphiniums. Well, at least foxgloves are great in my garden... Summer was pretty short here, wasn't it?

Gorgeous!! Love your pic's, they make me want to pop them like bubble wrap. You have some seriously stunning Lupines there! Another one for my "must-have" list =)

Grace said...

Gorgeous! I love Lupines.

I have heard conflicting information about growing Lupines here....hope the answer 'yes' is the right one! Love them.

These are incredible. They are so colorful and strong looking. Nicely photographed, too! Thanks for stopping by.

Lupines I know and love (some pretty ones in my current header photo) but I am completely unfamiliar with the adorable purple flowers in your header. Those cute white dots!

Lupines are indeed gorgeous and one of our favorite early summer plants. I just wish they bloomed all summer! I love them as well!

Your lupins are beautiful. Mine are absolutely smothered in pesky aphids and they have rather devastated them now. Next year will have to have a plan of attack.
