While visiting my SIL I noticed this bloom from a distance and had to investigate. With the help of my BIL we have identified it as Lupinus villosus--Lady Lupine. It grows specifically in the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.
It likes a scrub area with sandy soil, quite drought tolerant I might add, as we are about 8 inches behind in our rainfall for the year. Do you know this plant?
Noted to be great food for caterpillars. What type of caterpillars were not indicated. Further research should be done for personal information on my part.Just had to add this interesting bridge that my SIL and her husband built. Across the bridge and around the corner to the right is their home and at the edge of the property is a lake.

Today I am Thankful for Gail and her bulldog tenacity concerning wild/native plants and flowers and the pollinators that we so desperately need. She certainly has me keeping my mind and eyes open.. :)

The flowers look cute. Flowers in bunches are always a great sight, wouldn't you agree?
Ooo, what a pretty flower. This one would be great for my garden.
Hugs,
Donna
I don't know that plant at all but it sure is sweet! Great job on the bridge too.
Darla, I love the description of the house and the lake at the far end. My dream house...
Oh such pretty flowers...I love that bridge.
Blessings Kelsie
Love the bridge!
Lady Lupine is beautiful. Nothing like it here in PA that I know of.
That was a good and helpful trip of information about flowers.
Its lovely with with its 2 different colours looking like the sweet pea blooms, maybe same family?
What a beauty! Darla, I so wish it would grow here, but sandy soil is not a part of Clay and limestone! Love the bridge photo and the warning sign! xxoogail
PS Thank you for including me in your being Thankful!
What lovely blooms! Wish I could grow lupines here - they don't seem to like our soil.
What a beautiful flower! I love lupines. This one has unusual foliage for a lupine.
The bridge and the sign made me laugh, thanks for that.
I'll join you in thanking Gail. Her Wildflower meme is the one I'm supporting this year.
Oh - and you have a Magnificent picture in your header of a flying crayfish!! Strange to think that the same little creature flies around my basil in this South African garden ;~)
Çok güzel paylaşım. Teşekkürler.
Çok güzel bir paylaşım. Teşekkürler.
Pretty Lupine. Nice bridge too!
It is such a pretty flower Darla. I love the leaves too. Never saw that one before. I love the sign beside the bridge. lOL!
It's really pretty, I haven't seen that kind before. We have a wild lupine here, but they are all purple.
I love the no passing sign for the bridge, that would be tricky!
What a lovely wildflower; wish we had these up North! Love the sign in front of your in-laws' bridge:)
I enjoyed Lady Lupine when I lived in the Carolinas, but I haven't seen a plant in years. I like the bridge your SIL and her husband built.
I don't know that flower Darla but it's a beauty.
I always think of lupines as plants that won't take summer heat, and now you're showing me one from the southern US! I have the sandy soil for it, but I suspect it wouldn't be winter-hardy here.
SUch a pretty flower. And love the bridge!
*hugs*deb
What a peaceful setting, Drla ... the bridge to everywhere.
Love your dahlias ... I've never tried growing them before.
Got lots of seeds in the ground, so will be fun to see what all these mysterious plants look like when they blossom ... cannot put the flowers in just yet, freezes happen here until 2nd week of May so I am cautious.
Have a beautiful weekend ~
TTFN ~

Pretty plant and love the sign by the bridge...
We don’t have that plant down my way, but it’s gorgeous
Lady Lupine looks like something I need to know more about too..
Happy weekend friend.
hugs from Savannah, Cherry
Hi Darla, Love the Lupine... Beautiful...
Had to snicker at the sign saying not to pass on that bridge.... HA...
Let's pray for all who lost so much due to the Tornadoes on Wednesday. We were some of the lucky ones.
Hugs,
Betsy

Put it as they are a country of financially illiterate people. Therefore, the real issue now is how to change this lot of "financially illiterate people" into "financially literate people".
Cultivation is actively discouraged eg Japanese Knotweed. The benefits of growing wildflowers are many, but here are just a few:
These semi-hardy herb garden plants are grown mostly in greenhouses or indoors in colder climates. Protect outside plants with a light covering in regions susceptible to frost.
Garden and that is picking the plants and wildflowers. Once you know what you have and what you want, you can begin to design a wildflower garden that takes.
What a wonderful gardener Ms. Doris is! Her flower beds look so neat and tidy and what a collection she has. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Blooms until early fall. But, oh that Magisterial what a show the Amaryllis are giving. Every plant looks so happy.
Always enjoy your little glimpses into Ms. Doris gardens. love her style and how wonderful that she shares goodies with you.
These types of extinguishers also have no numerical rating, nor are they given a multi-purpose rating – they are designed for class D fires only.
Each weekend in this garden very rush because in the garden so nice and beautiful also and enjoyable garden There are so nice beautiful flower shared so that can be know that and visiting in this garden.
