It's hard to tell the pictures are sideways for me.

What can I do to keep Houzz from rotating my pics?

I pop my photos into iphoto on my computer and rotate them so that they are upright and they always post correctly. Otherwise, figure out what direction your camera has to be oriented in order to post photos upright and always use it in that orientation when you will be posting to GW.

I think your plant is Thermopsis villosa, a native perennial called Carolina lupine or false lupine. Tall with yellow flowers. I grow it, but think it is better in a wilder setting than a perennial garden and will be moving or shovel pruning mine at some point. Mine blooms in late June to early July, but for such a short time period that I don't have any photos other that fading blossoms at the edges of other photos. It tends to fall over onto other plants for me, so needs support. Overall, I am not impressed. You may feel differently when you see it bloom or if your growing conditions are different than mine.

I would concur with NHBabs - Thermopsis villosa (Carolina lupine) - but personally, I quite like it. . .solved the flopping tendency quite easily with a wire tomato cage for each plant as they emerge. They are grouped around a Miscanthus variegatus, whose growth quickly overwhelms them after they have bloomed.

Thank you both for the great identification. I have no idea where I got the plant and even checked past orders to see if it could have been misidentified. It certainly didn't belong where I had it planted. I moved it to another garden where it has more room and now the other plants can breathe. Mine never flopped. It just kept growing and growing.

NHBabs, I transfer my pics from the iPhone into a folder on my computer where they are perfectly straight and show up straight everywhere else. Do I have to use a program or rotate them incorrectly on the comp.? I'm baffled.

Might it also be one of the Baptisia family? There are yellow and blue types, and the foliage is very similar. Unless of course Thermopsis and Baptisia are interchangeable. Lots of genera names are now synonyms.

Looks like Baptisia to me.

I grow both several types of Baptisia and Thermopsis, and this is Thermopsis. The foliage has a different texture and shape, though of course they are somewhat related.

Casey, I rotate the photos in iPhoto which is photo processing software. I imagine that there is freeware that can do that for you. But you can also just orient your iPhone so that the photo will be upright. To do that, take the photos with the phone in landscape orientation with the round Home button to the right, and your photos should post upright.

I haven't been keeping up with garden web, and missed this discussion. I'd have guessed one of the large leaved coreopsis - tickseed - varieties. They pop up all over my garden, and I usually allow them to grow wherever they choose. Then again, I don't have much baptisia (but the type I have has more rounded leaves) or any thermopsis, so maybe this looks much more like one of those - this is just a wild guess.
