The Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus) was first documented as being naturalised in New Zealand in 1958. The story goes that seeds were thrown to the roadsides from bus windows by tour groups. It now covers enormous areas, especially in the Canterbury region and makes a magnificent sight when in flower.However, it does cause problems by invading the braided river beds of the South Island. . . . Taken with Canon 450D. I hope you like it and welcome and appreciate any comments/critique

Nice flowers with different colors. Your frame completes this wonderful capture... with this small butterfly in the corner. :)

Too much of a good thing is not always good LE. They are beautiful. I remember when farmers planted multiflowered rose around here for animal cover. They are very prickly and almost took over the land. If you ever get in one, you will know it. I need to get a photo of it. Sorry to go on.

A very good shot of this plant. They are colorful for sure.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
