Lupine!

Welcome back,
     Classes are back in session. That's exciting. Even more exciting, we are twelve days away from the design session. At the first E-Club meeting last night, we made plans to start doing more publicity. We have the space reserved and now we need to make sure that a diverse group of people attend.
     The agenda will include things like talking about our goals, doing small group discussion and activities to figure out what we want to plant. Then we will reconvene and hopefully come to a consensus on what to plant. Should be fun.
     Right now, I'm hoping for lupine. A perennial plant, the seeds require being frozen during the winter and "thawing" before they will sprout. It is about two feet tall and has many purple flowers. They grow all over and there are different species, but some are very well suited to Iowa. In addition, this is a seed that can readily be bought, so lots of reasons to like lupine.
