    The image shows a cluster of wild lupine flowers (Lupinus sp.) in full bloom, displaying characteristic tall spike-shaped flower racemes in shades of blue, purple, and lavender. The plants are growing in a naturalistic woodland or meadow edge setting surrounded by lush green foliage including ferns and broad-leafed shrubs. The scene appears to be captured during late spring or early summer based on the flowering stage and vegetation density.

    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.
