Filipendula ulmaria subsp. ulmaria + Lupinus polyphyllus (4843' N 1358' E)

Description:

2010.07.04 Czech Republic, esk Krumlov (mixed forest - mainly broadleaf, umava national park 825 m AMSL).Both are common, Filipendula flowering from june till august, Lupinus from june till september.Lupinus is not native and potentially invasive; the plant was introduced not only as ornamental plant but also as fodder (for deer too, seeded in forests) and for re-greening of roadside slopes after construction work - both worked (and still works) in favour of establishing this one in the Central European fauna.While Lupinus is potentially invasive it isn't as 'dangerous' as other species - actually it seems that Lupinus, a typical pioneering plant, is disappearing from habitats as soon as more competitive native plants manage to establish themselves there.German names: Gewhnliches Gross-Mdesss (Filipendula); Stauden-Lupine (Lupinus)ID: Fischer & al., Exkursionsflora (2008 3rd)
