   isn't it on the invasive species list? it is in Minnesota I think.

      This species is native to the Southwest. I looked at the Minnesota invasive species list, and couldn't find any lupines.

      Large-leaved lupine is an invasive species in many places outside of North America (e.g., New Zealand).

   I hadn't heard of it, but like the photo, as well as the fact that it is a plant that is apparently attractive to both bees & Monarch butterflies . The link below gives a slightly different common name: grape soda lupine.

   Beautiful shade.

      Re: 'grape soda' ... Maybe better as 'grape Nehi lupine'? And cue Radar O'Reilly!
