These introduced plants sometimes establish themselves in healthy self perpetuating colonies in waste places or at the side of the road without any gardner fighting the aphids or other pests which kill mine off so readily in my own garden. The colony from which these photos were taken is a most unlikely place for anything to grow - it has a thin soil on top of an old ash dump but the lupins have thrived here for over 20 years.
