Big Leaf Lupine (7230)

Big-Leaf Lupine, also called Large Leaved Lupine, is most likely found in areas that are moist and open. An herb and a member of the Fabaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 05. Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; unlikely to be extinct soon as it is found in other areas of North America.  If you looked at movies from New Zealand, you have seen hills and dales covered with this plant – invasive to New Zealand.
