Description

Lupinus sparsiflorus. If this looks like a Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis) to you, there's a very good reason. It's essentially the same flower. Imagine my surprise when I first saw one in Arizona. I grew up around Bluebonnets. I found this one near Ina and Santa Cruz River. My computer got a terminal illness and it took several days to resurrect it. So I'm back. I'll upload a few of the flowers I'm currently photographing. Thanks for all your support.
