Our lupine and poppy crop have been sort of non-existent this year also. I did see lupine along side the road the other day, but only one in an area where usually the ground is covered with them.
Thanks, Kathy. Hopefully we will all get some rain soon.

Not many in North Texas either. Thanks for the post so I don't forget how nice they are.
Our state flowers have been conspicuously sparce this year in South Texas due to prolonged drought conditions.
In wetter years, the highways and fields are blanketed with these beauties, but not this year, which is sad as we look forward to seeing these each spring.
So, to remind us, Anne planted this cluster on our back deck. Enjoy.

Glad you saw the correct spelling. I didn't. Shows how alert I was. Stay well.

OK, thanks. I have never been on the old Ridge Route but I have seen the fields of yellow California Poppies and blue Lupines near the I-5 and 138 near to where you refer.
