Lupins by maggiemae

Lupins

Known here to be a pest but contained in a copper tub in our garden, they provide a nice vertical and colourful line!
Thankful for;
No bad effects from hours of being awake and worrying! I did think of hitting myself over the head but was also worried I might hit John by mistake!
Love the lupins that are around the rivers and lakes in the South Island .. beautiful site..

@julzmaioro They are always a picture and yet they might be planning to do away with them!

Lovely shot of your beautiful lupins. I had to chuckle at your narrative 🤣

What a lovely pot of flowers with a view.

Beautiful. They are amazing - even when flattered by storm they can recover and grow tall again.

Maggiemae, as soon as I begin to scroll upon your photos, I can tell instantly that it is you. Your colors are so nice and crisp.

Why are lupins regarded as a pest, I think they are lovely.

"Russel lupin is an invasive pest plant, which alters braided river systems and threatens the safety of our native species," There - you have it. But the widespread colour of the lupins brings lots of tourists!

@digitalrn My camera is good at capturing colours but I do enhance now and then when it is nature.

@grammyn I actually lifted these lupins which were hiding under a rhododendron and transplanted them into this pot. Pleased to see they didn't die!

@maggiemae They seem to be thriving here!

Beautiful, I love lupins but I can't grow them as the slugs get there first!
BTW, the mini-pancakes came on a small recyclable tray and a mini wooden fork. We put the bags down to eat them while we listened to the music. The greenery in the bag was sprouts!

@busylady the tray was a good idea. I bet they were delicious. They might have been called Dutch babies too!
