This is lovely Verena. Yes the red ones are definately Lupins and I like how you have them contrasted with the purple Iris in the background. Lovely shot. Well done!

I would just call them Red Rockets. Very nice close up of these, Verena. The colors are great with the iris' in the background. Excellent work. What a beauty.
I wish I had seen this first. I only know lupins, tulips and roses so it would have given me a chance to use my knowledge of flowers. Really pretty Verena. Neat focus and can see drops of water on the leaves which I think looks nice. Very pretty.
The red of the Lupines along with the purple of the Irises make for a very nice combination of colors here. I really like how you shot this vertically also. Looks very nice.

COME ON YOU GREENS, UP THE ARGYLE.....
I have always called them lupines myself and I just love them. I plan to plant a few in my garden as soon as I get home. Lovely picture. The iris' in the background add fabulous color as well.
Nice bit of camera work...great DOF too!
