This is a wild lupine and is vital habitat for the Karner Blue Butterfly. If it likes where it's living, keep it!! We need more of these plants for this endangered butterfly.

This lupine is the State FLower of Texas and it is against the law to pick them here. They are sown along highways by the Texas Dept. of Highways. They fill fields in the spring and many people take pictures of their pets or family sitting among the Bluebonnets.

The flowers that have an eight point leaf and cone like shape of purple flowers are called Bluebonnets you can see them along side of the highways in Texas very beautiful during spring

For Bud
Lupin is the name it commonly goes by. Most green houses have them in the spring as young plants. My Mom started a bunch from seed last spring, in a pot outside (seeds from the previous years plants). If you can find someone who already has some you may be able to get young plants from the base of their adult plants. They transplant well, just keep them watered. Happy Gardening !!

Yes it's definitely a lupine. I like them too. They grow as perennials in New York

Anonymous is correct - It is a Lupin. In CA they grow at the side of the road and are seen as a weed or wildflower depending on your point of view. 8)

Here in the UK, they are bought as garden flowers.

Lupins come in many colors although I do prefer the blue. Look for the jewel that appears briefly in the base of the leaf cluster after early morning dew or a rain shower. xx

Looks like a Lupin which is a perenial and comes in different colors, we have them up here in Canada - Zone 4 so they are pretty hardy.
