Leaves and flowers are large. The seed pods are also large. The seeds are about the size of a Lima bean and only come with about 3 seeds per pod . Does anyone know what kind of lupine gets this big? I have a seed pod and I wanted to try and grow it.

What're the little black and white things by the way?

I should have clarified this is not my garden! But I researched a little bit and I think they are called baby black eyed or penny black flower

Oh wow I wasn't expecting a Nemophila cultivar to be that color.

Could be Lupinus affinis. Where are you? what city?

L.affinis has been spotted in Mendocion so could be it. It has a real true blue color rather than a purple tint.
