Before and after: I cut down a couple of lupin bushes that were intruding on one of the tracks to the beach. It was a gorgeous day for it.

@Ron The yellow flowers are on lupin bushes that are a weed around here. Those particular bushes were blocking or impeding or about to impede foot traffic along the path to the sea.
@Miraz I see. Here in our neighborhood in the Midwest, the dandelions are thick all over the yards in the spring. Everyone just mows them down with the grass. After a few mowings the dandelions give up and we are left with green lawns.
@Miraz Transportation Department planted Lupins along parts of the road network in Norway, I think it was to keep motorists from being bored to death by the monotony of the green grass and trees, but now they are considered a pest here as well, (although I find they have quite beautiful colours).
@odd They look lovely, yes, but they're taking over. And, they give me terrible allergies when they bloom (now). Itchy eyes, nose, mouth, headaches, tiredness. It's peaking right now. Sigh.
@Miraz just to note dandelions dont give up quite so easily either. the only part that gets mowed down is the flower. they continue to grow just fine. which is why I either yank em (but not good unless you get the whole taproot which is nearly impossible) or spray em. oh they're green alright and they hide in the grass but unchecked they WILL take over.
