Beautifull series Machi,congrats on the well deserved SOTD and thanks for sharing
Thank you Marta! Yes, those are lupines. I have another spotting of those that I recently posted: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/829...
Beautiful and unique! Congratulations!
btw, I think in the fourth and fifth pics you have a different plant that is near the orchid, could it be a Lupinus? :-)
Thanks Ashley! There will be much more from Kodiak in the coming months :)
Congrats Masumi, this beautiful flower has been chosen as Spotting of the Day! (I'm also very jealous you got to visit Kodiak Island!)
