Wild Lupines




Sender: Purpleferret
'L' is for wild 'Lupines'. 

Text on card: From Yarmouth to Cape Breton, travellers are delighted by the roadside colour. While travelling throughout many parts of Nova Scotia, visitors will delight in scenes like this. Great masses of blue-violet lupines, occasionally mixed with pink or white, covering acres of hills, and stretching along roadside banks. Two naturalised species, native from California to Alaska, here grow together and freely intercross. Heavier areas of concentrations are found in Yarmouth Country, the South Shore, Eastern Shore and Truro. This view is along the Eastern Shore at Port Dufferin.
