Lupinus

those are gorgous. mine are not doing that at all. they are just little!

I envy your lovely lupins... mine usually start out well...but the leaves start to distort and the blossom is not as tall or as full as yours.. they are very nice!

michelle...give you time!!

lori...In ontario it's too hot that's why you have trouble!
When it's getting hot here I have the same problem.

I have delphiniums which also dislike the hot weather...with our cold start this spring they were looking quite promising..but we had a week of HOT weather and they seemed to stop in their tracks...rats! they are still blooming ahead of their expected time though. (shrug)
