Colorful Lupin Flowers In Tekapo

A visitor reacts at colorful lupin fields in Tekapo, Mackenzie Country, in the central South Island of New Zealand on January 10, 2020. Tekapo is one of New Zealand's most popular tourist attractions. Each November, huge, colorful fields of lupin flowers begin to emerge along the lake shores, streams, canals and highways of the Mackenzie Region of New Zealand. However, lupins are a non-native species of flowers and they cause a number of problems in New Zealand because they spread rapidly, pushing native flora and fauna out of their habitats.
