Coffee break over,so now going into the Mediterranean Biome..this kind of warmth is much better..There are also plants from South Africa,and Mexico too..The Agaves are looking good..

..and so are these..

How about one of these for a Garden shed? That would be a talking point for the neighbours :o).I would love one..

..Loved this too…sorry,I should have taken a close up,of the info..but I think it is self explanatory..:o)

Fancy a taster of Vegetable Ragout,or Paella..?it had a lovely aroma..and you could buy portions .We still didn’t want anything to eat..so waited till we moved on somewhere else..


Hope you enjoyed your visit to this Biome..the sun is shining,and it is time to go on a journey round the rest of the gardens outside..on my next and final blog..and my favourite part…Dahlia’s for Amblealice,Grasses for Paul..and many more lovely plants and flowers to enjoy for you all…I warn you,It will be quite a long one..!

Thanks,glad you enjoyed it Pixi..it was a lovely
experience..:o)
Thank you Cinders..I have found it much easier to take pics of all the information ,instead of writing about it..and to remember it,which is even better .Glad you liked it too...

That is so unfair Sandra ,they didn't have any yummy food like that the last time we went ,lovely blog ! thank you ;o)

15 Aug, 2011

 

Most interesting, thanks for the blog, must do the others now......

15 Aug, 2011

 

Thanks Tet..I can't imagine anyone being disappointed ,unless they went in the early days,before everything had chance to mature..The sides of the quarry were very bare,and now they are covered with trees and shrubs..makes a big difference to the appearance..

Thanks San..it did look and smell good,but we still weren't hungry..but we made up for it later :o)

Cheers Paul..just thought you would like to see a few grasses.on the next one...I agree about the colours of the flowers..:o)

Best way to browse,Lincslass ,with a cuppa..that is what I am having,right now..:o).pleased you enjoyed it,thank you..

Not bad is it,Joanella? :o)I would love to go again,as I would probably see lots more that I missed..you always do,the second time around..shame it's such a long way...

Yes,you are right Pam,and so much can be done in 10 years..I'm glad we waited till now..but you really need to see it for yourself to see the difference...they are so skilled and artistic,with what they have achieved..:o)

Aw,sorry Amy..hope you didn't reach for the biscuit tin ! Lol...Pleased you enjoyed it,thank you..you will be positively drooling when you see the last pic on the next and last blog..and no cheating by pressing 'End' and whizzing down to the bottom..! Lol.

Cheers Lou..I saw it first ! Lol...I don't know,you Geordies are so impatient ! I am going to make a start today..as it's raining..but if the sun does show it's face,I will be taking a gardening break...saved the best till last,in your case,it seems....ooh,lovely Dahlias..:o)) not winding you up,am I pet ??.Lol.

16 Aug, 2011

That was really interesting Bloomer! It's a good idea to take a pic of the info, it's hard to remember otherwise. It's a beautiful place!

16 Aug, 2011

 

Thanks Libet..It was much easier doing that..you always think you will remember,and I usually have a good memory,but not on this scale..:o)

Hey Sandra love that Borrie, it would make a fantastic addition to my garden I could store all my Plastic lemonade bottles, plant pots and seed trays, Harry couldnt complain then that my greenhouse was untidy lol A lovely selection of exotic flower pics ;0))

15 Sep, 2011

 

Just the thing,Carole..Harry would fit in it too ! Lol.

15 Sep, 2011

 

lol what a great idea!!

16 Sep, 2011

 

Lol,aw poor Harry,bless him...I think you should buy him some Orange Pansies.!:o))

16 Sep, 2011

 

He would love them along with all the brightest red, purple and Yellow flowers you can find lol

16 Sep, 2011

 

He had his chance,Carole..but he knew you wouldn't let him plant them..Lol
