University Botanic Garden, my brief escape

A quick brisk walk from work and I am just somewhere peaceful.

    Are these lupins? Lupini beans are a bar snack in some countries (Spain or Italy?), served with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and are very tasty. However, they are poisonous until boiled, then soaked in salt water for about 1 week, stirring and changing the water every day, then boiled again, until tender, but al dente. In prehistory, how many people had violent nausea, projectile vomiting, and better yet, projectile diarrhea, until someone figured how to process them???

    Wow, I am not sure, probably, I just thought they looked good, I am not really much of a gardener.
