I was driving around Garner Valley last weekend and I spotted several groups of lupines. These are mountain lupines, which are very different from the ones down here in the desert and up on the lower elevations of our local Santa Rosa mountains. The desert ones have had it with the heat and are slowly drying out. The mountain ones, however, are full of color and are just now blooming, especially after last week's rains and those from the week before. The mountains have had a lot of rain lately, even though the desert hasn't. Aren't they beautiful? I love lupines! I hope to see more this weekend when I return to visit my horses.
