Re: Lupines

I attended a lecture by Francis Cabot on the development of his new
garden, Les Quatre Vents, on the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. He
mentioned growing hybrid lupines.  He grew a patch, collected their
seeds and extended the patch.  He had been doing this for a number of
years, developing a river of lupines.  I believe this area of Quebec
has a somewhat maritime climate, with 3 or 4 inches of rain every
month of the year, and cool evenings.

He has since written a book about the garden, The Greater Perfection,
which is a wonderful read.
