What does LUPIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tall garden and wild plant of the pea family, grown for its dense, colorful flower spikes, and also cultivated in some varieties for its edible, protein-rich seeds.
A lupin sends up a single straight spike crowded with small pea-shaped flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink, or white, making it a popular choice in cottage gardens for its bold vertical shape. Farmers grow certain varieties of lupin as a crop, since the seeds are unusually high in protein and can be processed into flour or animal feed once the naturally bitter compounds are removed. Wild lupin also grows across meadows and roadsides in many temperate regions, often forming large colorful drifts in early summer. The plant's deep roots additionally enrich the soil with nitrogen, a trait that makes lupin useful in crop rotation.
