lupins going to seed

i love this pic, because in this evening light, you can see the lupin seeds growing inside their pods. Not ready to pick yet, let them swell, brown & dry on the plant.
then separate from the plant material & set aside to dry again.
check out this post for more details and step by step pictures. 

this is what the seeds look like if you don't get to them & they spread themselves through your garden. I think they look so beautiful like this!
