Twilight Lupins

Purple and violet flower spikes stretch towards bare mountain ridges, recalling the lupin-filled high country around Takapō/Lake Tekapo in the Mackenzie region. Their upright rhythm contrasts with the long lines of the mountains beyond. Rich colour near the viewer and quieter tones beneath the fading sky create a layered sense of depth.

In the Mackenzie high country, the spring and summer flowering of introduced Russell lupins briefly brings vivid colour to an otherwise spare landscape. As daylight fades, the flower spikes become a rich foreground against the cooler mountain ridges. Their beauty carries an ecological cost, however: dense lupin growth can replace the open braided-river habitat needed by native birds.
