Happy Friday everyone :)
Here in New Zealand the lovely Russell Lupin is classed as an invasive species as it threatens indigenous plants especially where it has invaded the braided river beds in the South Island.
Taken with Canon 450D.

Although these lupines are threatening indigenous plants, they are beautiful. Excellent F² capture Lyn.

Fantastic, dear Lyn. I have seen separately blue and yellow, but never white, blue and yellow in one !!!
Who cares if they are invaders. No one can forbid the invaders to be beautiful :)

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

They are truly beautiful to be considered a threatening species.

Not unlike dandelions in their brashness, LE.
I do think they are easy on the eyes.
