Is there ANOTHER NAME for lupins, or for wild lupins..or another flower very similar to lupins? Thanks.?

A variety of lupine:


"The bluebonnet, a name common to several North American species of Lupinus, is the state flower of Texas."





"Although Lupinus texensis is almost exclusively blue in the wild, Texas A%26amp;M University researchers were successful in breeding red and white strains, creating a Texas state flag in bluebonnets for the 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial. Further research led to a deep maroon strain, the university's official color."





I find no lookalikes....hollyhocks have a similar growth pattern, but the flower is completely different.

Polyphyllus and Nootkatensis. But be careful, the seeds are poisonous.
Reply:Nope. Only lupin and lupine.
