A friend of mine, comming for a visit just now to eat dinner. Baddy the badger 
Not a good picture, he`s 50 feet away from me on 24*zoom and the camera shook abit. He is still keeping a little distance, smart guy, but his father and I are close friends love them both. I also have 6-10 dear (like bambi) that comes by regularly and eat in my garden. And the kids they get over the years get so used to me from a early age, so they trust me more an more every year. Love them so much.

Nice pics. At first I thought that was marijuana.  |
No, it`s "lupin", dont remember the english name just now.
There are some other pictures in some posts here of some purple ones in bloom.
They are dangerous to eat, poison. Come in many different
colors, blue, purple, white, pink and some more. Are working
on a small poison-garden. Got the idča from a castle in england that had a huuge one
that I saw on the net. Plan to go there some day, looked like a beautiful place. It was
divided into many different types of gardens over a big area. They had some plants that
grew in cages so people wouldn`t touch them, cause they are really dangerous to the
human body.
One interesting thing about the lupin, is that it grows in really bad soil, they absorb
nitrogen directly from the air via the leaves, so after a sever tunderstorm f.ex, when
the air gets "filled" with a form of nitrogen, you can se them get really green and grows
very very fast within hours. A very useful trait in food production.

The garden this week. Iris, garden heliotrope, and some other things are blooming, and the Canada geese have been doing their business on the lawn.

Really nice, beautiful plants.
Heliotrope is poison if I dont remember wrong?
Stops the heart or something, some of the cemicals
in them? I might be wrong. |

Thanks ImTheGuyThatDidThat.
You were very close on the word lupin. In North America it is spelled lupine. Same thing!

You might be thinking of foxglove. That plant contains digitalis and is used as a heart medication but can also be deadly. Heliotrope can be toxic, some varieties have dangerous alkaloids.

Yes thats the one I mixed it up with. I have some lilacs myself in some brighter shades,
have the same yellow daylilies and see something darker in color to the right in the back
of the picture that are familiar, some lilies also.
Great redbud tree, have to check if they grow here, doubt it. |

The Latin name for them is cercis canadensis and they are native to eastern North America. They grow as far north as southern Canada. They grow wild in my area near Lake Michigan which is in the northern U.S. It's not spring for me until I see them bloom.

This is crazy, it`s 34 degrees celsius here, in the shade and not a
singel movement in the air. Cant remember the last time it was this hot
around these parts, hard to breath. The trees are actually starting to
look a little limp, they`re getting fried.
-->..some hours later the same day.. cant t....yp..e words, t... to hooooooooooooot
