The Russell Lupine 
Here is an outstanding acquisition to the lovely Lupine family. 
The individual flowers are much larger than normal, the spikes 
are 4 to 5 feet tall and carry so many individual flowers as to 
present an almost solid shaft of bloom. Many new and exquisite 
colors and color combinations are displayed that have never 
before appeared, until it becomes impossible to describe them 
fully. Had this creation of the English been named ‘Multicolor’ 
it would have been appropriate.
