These beautiful pictures capture lupins in full bloom in Longton, bringing a burst of summer colour to the village.
The striking flowers, with their tall purple, pink and white spikes, have also proved popular with bees and other pollinators.
They make for a vivid seasonal scene and a reminder of how much colour can be found close to home.
