Hi malpaismaven,
I have found it can take quite a bit of patience to see responses. Myself, I sometimes free myself from the morning ritual of looking through observations I might have a chance of IDing with some degree of confidence; thus, I might not get on iNat for some days. Sometimes I’m backpacking for weeks at a time.
I often find posted observations lack the data to make an ID beyond order of family, much less genus. Lupines require at least 4 or 5 careful photos of different characteristics.
I haven’t seen your posts: I look to keys to see what characteristics need to be seen for ID.
I have some journal posts in case you are interested:
Oaks, Lupines, other wildflowers: photos needed for ID

And, forgive me if I’m telling you what you already know. Like I said, I have seen your posts yet. I’m catching up from a small hiatus from iNat.
