Yes, Lupines. They're like the people of Maine, to my mind, which is easy for me to say—I'm a old Masshole who spent his boyhood summers on the shore of the Passamaquoddy Bay, and I have a deep and abiding love for the Great State of Maine. They're hardy and strong, you often find them by the shore, they are good looking in a not-so-flowery way, and they don't transplant well. Kudos to Thin_Meaning_4941 for making the Miss Rumphius connection. They can be hard to nurture, and they're not so pretty out of season, but they're unforgettably natural. Lots of flowers are prettier, but few leave a stronger impression.

Also non native and invasive.

Gahh—That sounds more like me up in Washington County.
I wish they were more invasive! I could look at them all day.
