After 3 years of lovely foliage but no flowers, I finally decided to take out the hybrid lupine and replace it with something colorful. But when I went to rip it out, I found:
and it just kept getting better
and better...
Notice that even the bumblebees think it's purdeeee... 
The first spikes are nearly fully blown now.
So what's the question?
Ummm...I fergit...
Just kidding... 
Ahem...
My question is: If I deadhead the spike, will the plant put out a new bud stalk? If it won't make it bloom again, I'd just as soon let it go to seed.
I'm lazy like that...
...if there's a chance that it'll reseed itself and make babies, hazel is all for it.
