I thought maybe a Foam flower but not sure..you can buy miniature lupines but the leaves are different.

Are the flowers themselves the exact same as what a lupine looks like?? It's hard to tell from your pic.

every part of me wants to say it is the Self Heal plant :) except my flowers never got 8-12 inch spikes of flowers no quite that high. But in different soils and weather i would think maybe mine didn't grow as high they were under pine tree's partialy and didn't get a ton of sun. What do you think??? Cuz I want to say YES this is it grin btw thanks to you all for any imput and help in finding my strange little flower LOL!
