This Lupinus has been tricky to pin down- very likely a Russell hybrid. Anyhow, the colors of this inflorescence on an overcast day were so vivid, I was compelled to take the shot. Wind and lack of tripod resulted in this softened image- which I think shifts the emphasis to the saturation and hues nicely. Lupins, as the rest of the "English" speaking world calls them, have quite a family tree. Check it out on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupin
