    The image shows a cluster of wild lupine plants (likely Lupinus species) in full bloom, photographed in natural outdoor lighting. Multiple tall flower spikes display characteristic pea-like blossoms in shades of blue, purple, and white. The plants are set against a lush green background of foliage, suggesting a meadow or woodland edge habitat.

    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.
