Lupins at roadside

Just had to say how beautiful the embankments are looking at the side of the roads full of lupins either side.
When I went hillwalking on Sunday was driving south and it was so pretty to see in bloom.
Dont know if the council had sown seeds.

 

How lovely. I remember seeing wild lupins growing along the road sides in New Zealand when we went there on our travels, but I haven't seen such a stunning sight in Britain. They must have been planted specially, like daffodils are in the Spring.

 

Lupins grow wild in Norway, mostly blue in colour.

 

Yes its really beauiful .

We should do a bit of gorilla gardening and plant some beauty .

 

Would so love to see any pics that anyone has of our UK roadside lupins?
Saw a derelict house in the Pyrennes from "Le petit train jaune" that we were on. The garden was a mass of lilac, pink and almost white wild lupins and I still remember the intense perfume coming across and into the open carriage that we were in. Awesome. I love the gorilla gardening idea Scotkat,
