4Lake Tekapo, New Zealand
In New Zealand, spring arrives in November, and Lake Tekapo on the South Island becomes a breathtaking sight thanks to the lupin flowers that bloom along the lake’s shores. While not traditional cherry blossoms, these vibrant pink, purple, and blue blooms against the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo create a mesmerizing contrast that rivals any other spring bloom display. The Mackenzie region surrounding Lake Tekapo is also known for its clear skies, making it a perfect spot for stargazing after a day spent exploring the blossoming fields of lupins.
