2839 - AlpenPix (Wild) - 2010-12-09 (Dimension: 1742 x 2338 pixels - Counter: 4757) Lupinus argenteus Locality: USA - Colorado - In natural area behind Mountain View Experimental Gardens, Peak 7 area, Breckenridge, Colorado, elevation 10,000 feet, USDA Zone 4. Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: Closeup of white variant. I collected seeds this year. The seeds are noticeably paler than seeds from typical blue-flowered plants. I would like to move this plant to a safer location in my garden but I'm sure it would die if I disturbed its deep taproot. So I will germinate the seeds and maybe some will carry the white gene.
