Lupines (Lupinus)

The Butterfly Meadow is full of lupines right now, and they are well used by bees, honey bees, bumble bees in particular. These are a garden plant, not the native lupine which is rare and not native to Eastern Ontario. The native lupine is the plant closely associated with the rare Karner Blue butterfly. These lupines, pictured, being garden cultivars, come in a variety of colours from pink to white (occasionally), deep blue, purple, and even bi-coloured.
