Wonderful pictures of the beautiful flowers. Next time you go out to take pictures, try putting a dryer sheet or 2 in your pockets. They are supposed to keep away the bugs.

Thanks for the warning. I will now watch especially carefully as the lupines are near a birch tree I'm nursing to adulthood.

Be sure to post those pictures for Mamagus. That's a great question and I'm curious, too.

Aphids are tiny bugs on the underside of leaves. The ones here are green. I have heard that ants "grow" them for food.

Aphids are tiny pear shaped bodies and come in just about every color. They suck the moisture out of the leaves and are usually found on the underside of the leaves and leaf stems. Lady Bugs love to eat them!
