Beautiful invaders
In the South American spring, big leaf lupines (Lupinus polyphyllus), an introduced species from North America that is spreading rapidly, form dense flowering colonies on the gravel banks of the lower reaches of the Rio el Canal, Patagonia.

on March 21, 2021This shot really does show how the lupine has taken over the banks of the river. Yes, beautiful, but I can see the concern.

on March 21, 2021They made a lovely Spring landscape scene but a shame they are invaders and not native flowers. Well captured.

on March 21, 2021This is a lovely scene with the river running through it that acts as a guide for our eyes to travel the whole scene. It is too back that the Lupines are so invasive.
