Lupins by the Sea..

Another shot from my time down at the beach the other day .. It's great to see that the lupins are coming back again as a few years ago there were very few on the beach ..

I love lupins specially wild like this by the sea. I can’t grow them in the garden, they always seem to be plagued by greenfly!

[Carole Sandford]

Beautiful shot!

Are lupins natural flora in NZ or introduced “weeds”?
In any case they make a nice photo.

@ethelperry No they were introduced to combat erosion on the sand dunes .. they were nearly wiped out a few years back with Lupin blight but they seem to have recovered from that .. the tall growing mixed colour lupins are being causing a bit of a problem on the river and lake beds in the South Island .. I hope they don't disappear before I get a chance to get down and get some photo's .. they are a huge tourist attraction this time of year..

Very pleasing solution to sand stabilisation. Thank you for explaining it.

[Walks @ 7]

Lovely and most definitely a fav!

Another super shallow dof image. How neat to have those growing on the beach - such a splash of colour.
