Lupins can be somewhat toxic to cats, dogs and other livestock, including humans. Not fatal though. If there are alot of animals around where these plants are growing then you may or may not want to try to remove them.

Yes, Lupines. They're like the people of Maine, to my mind, which is easy for me to say—I'm a old Masshole who spent his boyhood summers on the shore of the Passamaquoddy Bay, and I have a deep and abiding love for the Great State of Maine. They're hardy and strong, you often find them by the shore, they are good looking in a not-so-flowery way, and they don't transplant well. Kudos to Thin_Meaning_4941 for making the Miss Rumphius connection. They can be hard to nurture, and they're not so pretty out of season, but they're unforgettably natural. Lots of flowers are prettier, but few leave a stronger impression.

There are many many species of Lupine, many are native to North America. The fancy garden ones in multiple colors are European and there may be invasive species but thats very difficult to tell from just seed pods.
