 lupinus ... just one in my garden one in my heart   |
They used to grow abundantly in our garden in Germany, but I never managed to get them to grow here in my valley in Japan
... until this spring and early summer !

tachifujisoo 立藤草（たちふじそう）"standing wisteria"
noborifuji 昇り藤（のぼりふじ） "wisteria climbing up"
Japanese tend to see the lupinus, which is not ingenious to Japan, as a kind of "downside up wisteria".

The Texas bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas. This year, it only made a short appearance, due to the drought.

Dear Gabi,
Lovely colours in your lupins and a great haiku to capture the sense of joy that this brings to you especially as they are associated with your home country.
