Not what it was supposed to be...

Two years ago I think it was, I bought a white Lupins, for what was supposed to be the white garden. I was aware that they spread through seed, which you figure would be a nice thing, to not have to buy more white plants the next year. Last year, what did I end up with? More red than white. I have this thing that I didn't want red, dark pink or yellow flowers in my garden... This year? More red, now pink and a new one... dark purple which I like just fine. So... I went rooting around the roots of the red Lupins to see if I could pull one of them out, but did not realize how "rooted" it was. Needless to say, I accidentally tore off parts of the root system. So... I put a couple salvageable bits in pots to see if they would agree to take root in soil, and I cut a few to revive in water. I normally would NOT bring red or hot pink flowers into the house, but ...

I kept them on the parlour table in the laundry room, but it got a little too hot in there for them with two days of warm, sunny weather. As they were starting to get droopy and wilt, I brought them into the kitchen the other day and snapped these funky pics.
