I was checking yesterday for new
Scrub Lupine sprouts, which
traditionally occur in January,
when I found I
was a year late in one of my discoveries.I initially found a year-old lupine yesterday, but today when I went back to photograph it, I discovered there were two.
The significance is that these plants are in a location where I found volunteers from an old seed bank just before the prescribed fire a few years ago.
The challenge will be to see whether either plant survives to maturity and puts out new seeds..
