Description
Photo from 2020.
People here are seeing these as weeds that have spread way too much. There also was time when cities and counties here made road repairing and lupines were chosen to be planted on sides of roads. It was also hoped to be used for food for cattle as it grows fast and spreads fast but that didn't work out. It wasn't good. Neither it apparently is good for honey. I am bit confused though that wouldn't it be possible to genetically engrineer these or just breed these into such variants that would be good for cattle to eat and safe for the bees to produce honey from?
They do look pretty when they bloom. Sides of roads have lupines in almost every color. One color that I have rarely seen has been white ones. Completely white ones. They usually are white mixed with purples and pinks.

It's a shame, they look quite pretty!
Indee is. There apparently is also editable ones excisting but these are not those ones and if bees and bumblebees use them for honey, they don't get much food out of it and honey becomes poisoneus as these plants are poisoneus. :/
@ukuotus Oh no! That's awful that their honey gets poisoned as well
Yea. That's one reason why to alter them a bit so they wouldn't be poisoneus anymore and another reason would be to make them become nutricious for bees.
