Every year from mid-November to December, the beauty is enhanced by a colourful display of Lupins.
Russell lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) is an exotic plant that can grow up to 1.5 metres.
Russell lupines produce long, colourful flower heads.
The leaves, divided into green leaflets, are splayed out like fingers on a hand.
Stout seedpods are produced that explode in the summer heat, releasing many dark brown seeds.
The variety of colours make the already stunning lake Tekapo area a photographers paradise.
