Early blooming lupin flowers. If you are from Texas, you will try to call these bluebonnets. In California they are lupins. Yes I have had this argument with a friend. — NPS

To the right is the trail itself, dirt and gravel, with grass and local trees growing up alongside it. It is very green because this is an image from spring. It is not normally green. — NPS
