the arrival of the lupin
For the past 2 weeks i have been teaching biology back at DaVinci. Its been interesting getting back into the routine of teaching. We are studying cells and protists. This week I ventured into the water garden to check on the plants. Unlike the rest of the country the ground is warming up around here. The daffodils are about to bloom and the lupin are returning from a winter retreat. I love the shape of the leaves on the lupine. They are like inverted umbrellas catching the dew and rain. Lupine are scattered around the pond and along the paths. By May they will be 2-3ft. tall with spikes of purple flowers. Here are some pictures.
