Beautiful. I’m in the Willamette. I will keep an eye out. By chance do you have a recommended link to find out more?
Nature and Gardening
All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Ya here is some good info. The place to find them is Hagg Lake. Drive around the back side of the lake and there is a spot to pull over that has an informational sign about the butterfly, and that's where you can find several of these lupines and I'm sure you'll find the butterfly too. I believe they are still in bloom now. Good luck!
Oh fun, thank you 🙏
I'll have to try planting some!
