Lupinus succulentus

More of Angelika Brinkman-Busi’s creations. We don’t have many color images of hers to share, perhaps because our newsletter Artemesia was then, and is now, a black and white publication. Nonetheless, there are a few. Enjoy.

We’ve identified these as Lupinus succulentus (Arroyo Lupine), in part based on the fact that Angelika often took local subjects. However, based on the growth habit and color differences between the pictures, other lupines might be a possibility. If you have an opinion, help us by posting a comment.

The Chapter recently found some beautiful pen and ink drawings in our archives attributed to Angelika Brinkmann-Busi, a former member, who has a keen botanist eye. We plan to post them over time so that their beauty can be enjoyed by a new generation.

Do you know all the plants in the drawing below? Answers the the plant quiz can be found in the image, but the location of Angelika’s signature is a guarded secret.
