Thanks Anthony, the great thing about living in a resort area is the various Chambers of Commerce create wonderful themes for the visitiors but we get to enjoy them just as much (maybe more), I'll be writing about a brewers festival soon..and whats better than looking at flowers? Beer!! Thanks Again, Steve Loynd.

I love the flower, but can't get it to grow. If I didn't want it to grow it would be all over. Never heard of giving this flower it's own festival.

Good morning Steve. I really like lupines but sadly we cannot grow them down here. I guess that it is too hot and the winters are not cold enough for them. Have fun at your festival.

William & Michael , thanks for your comments I too am not much of a green thumb, but all the more reason to see fields of these flowers growing wild, they are beautiful and you'll see them all along the highways up here. Steve
