only to find out from my boss that they are
lupins!

Like the other posters, if you mean Lupines, they are coveted by many
gardeners (like me). I tried to get some started in my old garden but
never could get them to flourish.

If you can get yourself to wait until you see how things bloom this year
(and take pictures every week or two) it will give you a great
understanding of what you have and where you will want to make
changes/improvements. I know how hard it is to wait; this is our fourth
spring in this house and up to now we have only added/removed a very few
things since we got here. We now are quite familiar with what's in our
yard and we've been very happy that we waited because some of the things
in our yard only bloom every other year!
