Lupins grown from seed earlier this year appear to have a milky white substance on the leaves and they don't look very healthy I don't think it's mildew as we had that on some other plants earlier in the year ???

Sounds like Lupin aphid and if so the answer is to hand pick the little blighters off the plants. There is more info here:

do you live in an area that has hard water?
I've noticed that some of my plants get water marks on them after I've watered them, like the marks I get on my stainless steel sink ::)

::)Yes we do live in a hard water area and yes it does look like what you said although the leaves do look a little unhealthy but with the dry weather my husband has been watering them maybe thats the answer they are still flowering thanks
