I have several lupine plants in my garden. I've gone through and snipped off the first flowering. The second flowering was pretty slim pickings. Can I dig these up and toss them? I want to plant some cosmos for some more flowers, but if the lupine plants come back I don't want to ruin their chances. My sweetie thinks we'll have more flowers off of them and I think they're about done for this year. Any advice? I'm enclosing a picture of how they look now. They were stunning two weeks ago.Sherry
