I'm not really a gardener. My Mum was and she instilled in me an interest, if not the talent. Anyway a few years ago I planted some lupin seeds in pots on a windowsill and they grew so I eventually stuck them in a raised bed in the front garden.
Fast forward to now, and they are absolutely beautiful. I keep standing and looking at them, watching the bees buzzing from flower to flower.
Nice to see the #lupins beginning to bloom this year!
The Milky Way Over a Field of Lupines
The Milky Way rising above a blooming field of lupines in New Zealand during November, when spring wildflowers transform the landscape beneath the night sky. Using a fisheye perspective, the flowers encircle the scene, forming a natural frame that draws the viewer into the celestial sphere above.
