Collar Lupine (Lupinus truncatus, Fabaceae) on bare soil
This is the whole plant of a small native Collar Lupine (Lupinus truncatus) in the Fabaceae family growing on bare soil in a place that was burned by the White Fire two years ago come May. The foliage is especially beautiful and distinctive. I dig the shadows! It's not flowering yet, but other larger plants already have flower buds and it won't be long.
