Small-flowered Lupine

At least that's what I think it is. This is an odd color variation that I ran across beside the road on my morning walk today. I marked it with a stone along the roadway and went back to shoot it. People must have really been wondering what that nut was doing beside the road, but no one stopped.

I probably should go back and look at the leaves more closely as there is another species that is quite close called Bi-colored lupine but it was growing in a patch of the Small-flowered.

5Diii, 180mm f3.5 macro, tripod. This is a stack of two shots at f14, 1/100, iso 500, Av mode with no compensation. Stacked and processed in CS6. This purple is pretty accurate-see my earlier post of this species for the normal blue color. I cropped this to 16.2 MP after stacking. Taken at 9:27 this morning.

Your comments and criticisms are most appreciated.

Thanks for looking,
