Flowers Everywhere
May 7th 2008andyportugal & quinta
I love May. Its rarely too hot, rarely chilly, seedlings are coming up, chickens are laying and sitting, and the odd rain shower saves us the job of watering the garden. And plants are in bloom all over the quinta.
These are beautiful spreading succulents that started as one small cutting a year ago:
These also started as a small cutting, spread like mad down the stone walls:
This was a plant bought at market. I don’t know what it is called, but its pretty and doesnt require much water:
And finally, heres some really stunning poppies that came up within the bed of broad beans:
Everywhere you go in Portugal at this time of year you will see splashes of colour from all the flowers. Not only in peoples’ gardens, but also the fields of wild flowers - corn marigolds, chamomile, lavender etc - its all eye candy and puts a smile on my face!
Stumble it!
