Lupine Season

Wild Lupines! This summer was my first time seeing the Lupines while on the scenic route of Highway 61. These vibrant wildflowers are the true stars of summer! Plan ahead to visit the shore during peak Lupine season!

• Best Time to See Purple Lupine: Late spring to early summer is peak lupine season. Plan your hikes and picnics accordingly!
• Top Spots: Check out prairie reserves, meadows, and even roadside ditches—they love sunny, open spaces.
• Bring a Camera: Trust me, you’ll want to capture these lupine flower wonders!

Fun fact - Lupines are more than just pretty. Their deep roots help fix nitrogen in the soil, boosting its fertility and supporting other plant life. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

For photography enthusiasts, lupines offer endless opportunities. Their tall, spiky blooms and rich colors create picture-perfect moments, whether you're a pro or just love snapping pics on your phone.
