Lupins always bring to mind a Monty Python sketch. In the sketch we see John Cleese playing Dennis Moore who is holding up a stagecoach. After a discussion of Moore's prowess with a firearm and a tree that may or may not be a willow, the highwayman demands the passengers hand over their lupins.
This lupin is growing in my garden, an escapee - so far - from the deer and peacocks that like to lunch there. I grew it from seed last summer so this is its first flowering. I wish I'd cut the green leaf that runs across the lower right of the pic, but I can't go out and re-shoot as the wind has picked up. I like shooting flowers, especially the colorful and complex ones, as they don't mind posing, though you gotta catch 'em on a still day. The occasional bee or hummingbird only adds more interest.
