I found a couple of plants, in the middle of nowhere, which seemed to
be lupins. The flower spikes and leaves were both smaller than those
of "garden" lupins. They had a marvelluos scent. Do lupins grow wild?

Yes. Half a dozen different species.

I forgot to mention, these were coloured the yellow of a cowslip
(rather than the yellow of a dandelion), growing in bush form,
maybe 3' across and the same height.

Very interestingly, they did not seem to have suffered from snails!!
