Yahoo! Today I learned this plant is NOT purple lupine. It is echium candicans ("Pride-of-Madeira") and grows all around SF Bay and generally all over the central and south coast of California. Normally I take great interest in learning about plants, but for some reason, I have walked by hundreds of these for years, every Spring, and said to myself "yep, purple lupines".
Please enjoy these Pride-of-Madeira with San Francisco Bay and city in the background.
