Lupins
Lupins , originally uploaded by Stephen Downes . Every summer the roadsides along Moncton area highways erupt with bright pink and purple lupins. This is a relatively new thing - I don't recall seeing the giant masses of them ten years ago. Maybe one day they will be declared weeds and eradicated, but I quite like them and think they're a far sight nicer to drive by than grass and regular-grade weeds. More lupins here .
