Arctic Lupine
One of the most beautiful wildflowers of the Pacific coastal subalpine ranges, the arctic lupine can grow in the cold summer mountains in such profusion that whole meadows will turn a bluish-purple color. These were photographed near the top of Hurricane Ridge in in the northern part of the Olympic Mountains in Washington.
