    The image shows two lupine flower spikes in the foreground, displaying characteristic whorled clusters of purple and lavender-blue pea-like blossoms. The left spike is more fully in bloom while the right spike appears slightly less developed. The background is a softly blurred natural setting with green grasses and foliage, suggesting a wild or naturalistic outdoor environment.

    Lupine flowers are shown June 6, 2019, on North Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. The flowers are an important food source for the Karner blue butterfly, an endangered species. The butterfly has thrived at Fort McCoy because of the availability of flowering areas for lupines. The areas are available thanks to work completed by post natural resources personnel while partnering with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as well as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
