Lupine and Mt. St. Helens’ Crater from Johnson Ridge
Mt. St. Helens eruption blasted directly over Johnson Ridge where this photo was taken. The landscape was devastated, Nothing was left standing or living. Now the hill sides are covered with wildflowers and small trees. This lupine stands defiant in front of the mountain.
Hi–
I have a correction for you. The flowers in your photo are not lupine, which has an entirely different leaf. The flowers in your photo look like fireweed to me.
