A sea of flowers of lupins on the Bichl.

A real feast for the eyes is currently the wildflower meadow directly in front of our house. As if the individual wildflowers were competing for the favor of pollinators such as, bees, wild bees, bumblebees, etc.

The different colored lupines stand out monetan. A transient spectacle. Symbol of coming and passing of the eternal cycle of life.

Lupine is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lepidoptera.

Recently, it has been experiencing an upswing as a crop as a sweet lupine. For example, it is increasingly used as a feed substitute for imported soy.

The seeds of wild and garden lupine, on the other hand, contain bitter substances that are "very toxic". Their consumption can lead to respiratory paralysis and death.
