What I do is try to time it just right, deadhead until the blooming period starts to wrap up and then let the rest go to seed. It’s hard to do!

No kidding? Where is that? They’re native in Pacific Northwest and in fact one variety is the host plant for the endangered fenders blue butterfly

It’s easy! Actually these are from seeds I harvested in a park. After the flowers bloom the seed pods will develop. They can be opened up and planted in autumn or spring. Lupines are legumes like peas, so look for pea pods and let them ripen until the seeds are black

There’s a tornado but the turbine is still moving so slow? You’d think they would be capitalizing on all that free wind!!
