Polly's pancake

I received a couple of comments about why I posted about Polly's pancakes yesterday, in relation to how was this an item of photographic interest. I guess I assumed that everyone knew about Polly's, LOL. If you have never been there you must go!!! They are located in the Sugar Hill area of NH, beautiful in the Fall, but absolutely tremendous in the Spring with the LUPINES! All of the photogs I know go to the area and do early sunrise and photograph the lupines and then head to Polly's for the most amazing breakfast! They make the pancakes using these interesting pewter. There are lupines in the field at St. Matthew's Church and at Polly's itself.

Harmen's Cheese keep a photo log of the lupine blooms. They will update daily as the flowers start to grow. You can also take a look at previous years to determine when peak blooms were.

Visit this link to watch lupines grow, bloom, and scatter their seeds.

Paying homage to the annual blossoming of this captivating wildflower, the Fields of Lupine Festival is a time honored regional event. The brilliant spikes of the lupine flower carpet local fields and pastures in a rolling sea of vibrant purples, pinks, blues and whites. The long-lasting blossoms attract equally dazzling butterflies and create a breathtaking floral display against the majestic backdrop of the Franconia, Presidential, and Kinsman Mountain ranges
