Here are three photos I took today during my much break. Explanation of why I'm calling it a puzzle will be posted later today. A clever botany hobbyist could figure it out from the photos alone - or, you may cheat by clicking on a photo and reading its caption in the upper left-hand corner. Have fun.
Here it is: The top photo was quite a dramatic (to me) scene. Several hundred square feet of a low-to-the-ground mat of lupine leaves punctuated by lots of 5-petaled, pink flowers that were not lupine but looked as though they were the same plant. I had to look hard to find just a couple of lupine blossoms (middle photo) and off to the edge were a couple of isolated specimens (bottom photo) of the pink flower which was filaree, a wild member of the geranium family. In the top photo, the filaree leaves are hugging the ground, hidden beneath the lupine leaves. Soon the lupine will be blooming and the filaree will be dropping their petals and all will return to "normal."
