14 May : Lupins

I don't want to sound over-confident but I might be beating the slugs. My lifelong ambition to grow lupins has had so many disappointments, so many set backs, that I am cautious - but look at those leaves! Big enough to hold rain drops! And flower buds! Admittedly they are less like Noble Maidens and more like Noble Mermaids today. But still...flower buds!

    Oh lupins are so gorgeous! They are certainly looking very healthy so far - fingers crossed the slugs stay away :)

      These will be white - the height of floral good taste. Vita would be jealous.
