It's to many sp. of the lupine..... I would just write Lupine myself ;)

Thanks a lot for the help, Courtney and Stian - both are very likely. Stian's suggest irritates me since wiki says it's not common in Europe but USA. Courtney's suggest fits the region but has a different tip of the flower clusters (flower buds) - so I kept it generally as Lupine. Okay with you? Or is one of you 100% certain about the suggest?

Looks like a member of the Pea family.
