Default Wild lupins NZ

Given what slugs do to lupins in our garden, the wild ones we saw in NZ made
me nearly sick with envy. They're regarded as a terrible weed there, as is
the 'escaped' Cytisus but to us visitors they were a joy to behold and we
saw them everywhere. But this was the most remarkable display and must have
run for a mile or more on the road to Milford Sound. The scent of them
filled the car.
