Menopause, or the cessation of menstrual periods, generally occurs in the 40s and 50s and marks the cessation of fertility, although age-related infertility can occur before then.
Silky lupine grows in northern areas from Washington and Oregon east to South Dakota. Tailcup lupine is found in Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming. Velvet lupine is found in an intermountain region from Oregon to Wyoming. Silvery lupine occurs from North Dakota and Idaho south to Arizona and New Mexico.
no advice on specific varieties but lupines do require some special care when germinating. The seeds must be scarified - that is, chilled then ruptured in some way.I freeze or chill mine in the fridge. Rubbing with sand paper is recommedned, though I find nicking with a sharp blade after chilling works better.
