Lupine Love - Lisa-Marie's Made in Maine

Lupine Love

A Lil’ History on Lupines: 



In years past, there was a species of Lupine that was native to Maine, Lupinus perennis, but it is now so scarce that it’s nearly diminished from the state. As you are driving the highways and byways in Maine in the spring, you will almost always see a beautiful carpet of pink and purple picturesque flowers. This is Bigleaf lupine, Lupinus polyphyllus, which actually originated in the western United States.

The Adventurous Miss Rumphius


When Alice Rumphius was a little girl, she vowed that when she grew up
she would travel the world and live in a house by the sea. 
“There is a third thing you must do,” her grandfather told her.
“You must do something to make the world more beautiful.”

Miss Rumphius fulfilled her dreams. She saw the world and returned home to live by the sea in Maine. But she wondered what she could do that would make the world more beautiful…and she discovered it was spreading the beauty of lupines.


“You must do something to make the world more beautiful.”

Barbara Cooney, Miss Rumphius
