Since we have been talking about plants interacting chemically, I thought this 
post from another list might be of interest.

Note: Grew  in well drained sandy soil with moderate humus 
content - particularly in the top2 inches.  The plant spread from a tap root at 
least 8 inches long on mature plants. The plants withstood mowing and flowered 
at a height of about 2 to 3 inches.  In lawn edge areas the plants were about  
a foot to 18 inches high - open spreading.

Hello John,
 
Somehow I get the feeling that this gets moisture from the verges  of lawn, 
etc. and thus does well at producing this exquisite flower(as in  lupines).
 
Makes me appreciate FL in a way but I am not about to leave the  lovely 
winters and seasons of the NE United States...smile.
 
How did you happen to find this?
 
Best,
Marcia Meigs in Ithaca, New York  USA
