As we’ve pointed out on several occasions, the scenery observed while travelling from one location to another has often been spectacular, and always been interesting. Something else I’ve enjoyed has been the variety of flora at the roadside. I’ve already mentioned gorse and broom on some of the poorer upland soils. Another prolific plant from Greymouth southwards to Haast was the foxglove, with purple, pink and white flowers. Yesterday and today, the most outstanding example was the lupin, again in a variety of shades, blue, purple, pink, orange and white, often ranged along the verge in swarms.
