Lupine or Blue Bonnet

Lupine or Blue Bonnet, the same flower at different ends of the prairie.  I prefer the name Texans have given this bonnet shaped flower.  Lupine has its roots in the Latin word Lupinus which means wolf-like because of the plants tendency to ravage the land with its profuse growth.  I enjoy talking to visitors to Crex who are immediately identified with the pronunciation of lu-pine for these beautiful, fragrant flowers.
