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.

Nope, no romance in Murderbot diaries. Murderbot expressly is disgusted by humans and their squishy love chemicals and parts.

Agree, and for them to be novella length on top of the price... I went to the library for the last few after the sticker shock.

Murderbot is great!!! I love the whole series. There is a free short story out there as well, set after the 4th novela.

I also adore her Raksura books as well. Its a very unique world with no humans, just different species all around.
