## Resource

Vermont’s rare native lupine, Lupinus perennis, is fading fast—just a handful of plants remain, thanks to habitat loss and development. Once blanketing fields, this wildflower now survives thanks to the tireless work of Doris Maynard and botanist Grace Glynn. Officials warn against planting non-native sundial lupine in key towns to protect the fragile genetics of the native strain. But hope persists: seeds collected years ago are being replanted, and conservationists are racing to restore this iconic blue bloom before it’s lost forever. It’s more than saving a flower—it’s a call to remember our impact and act to heal the land. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
