What is the identity of this flower found in Mavericks Beach in Half Moon Bay, California, USA? Please help identify this flower I saw in Mavericks Beach in Half Moon Bay, California. It was smelling soooo good, you can feel from distance. I want to buy and plant in my garden. Thank you, ![enter image description here](

Based on the habitat, color, and size that lupine looks like Coastal bush lupine ( _Lupinus arboreus_ ).

Please note that Coastal bush lupine can be invasive, so be responsible about where you plant it!
