Another Walk to Wynberg Park

I was feeling down because of the cold weather, I feel worse now :-)) All that warm sunshine, can you send me some. I think I'd like your climate just like your Lilies.

Thanks for some lovely photos, all the shops here are open today years ago they use to close, now good friday is like a ordinary day, sunday alot of them will be closed, but i live in seaside town so all shops etc on prom will be open on sunday.

Seriously, Heron, there is something to be said for a bit of bad weather... I did live in England for a two-year stretch... a bit more exciting perhaps ? Or maybe we need more stress...

Yes, Clarice, the world is always changing, I am not sure it is always in the right direction... usually not !

Stress, what's that? I've been retired 10 years :-)))

Gb will you stop going on about the hot weather your having...Are you
trying to Depress us all LOL What a lovely walk, you had, lovely scenery
i wish all my walks were as pretty...Those lillies looked really strange
without the leaves, looked naked!! Still beautiful though,,: >)))
Nice pics..Thanks..

Yes, Fp, flowers without leaves are exceeding strange - goes against all the propaganda I was taught at school - what was that story about chlorophyl needed to create cell material? And these lilies rocket up like mushrooms ! Only much higher !

Thanks, Gurth! Enjoyed your walk very much! Beautiful pictures of Amaryllis belladonna...:)

Thanks Uma, do you get them there too ?

It all looks very nice in the sunshine. Have a happy Easter :o)

Thanks Hywel, you too ! :o)
Following up your tip, Uma, I looked up the entry for Amaryllis Belladonna in Wikipedia and am now a lot wiser. No more mystery... the leaves come at a different season, and are gone long before the flowering. For me it is of course of special interest that this species originates right here where I am ! No wonder I see them everywhere.

Fantastic Blog Gurth and beautiful photos! I loved walking with you and enjoyed our journey together, thank you for sharing it with me! :~))

Thanks, Flori, it was my pleasure.... :o))

No, Gurth, don't have this plant...But like it very much! It's beautiful!

lovely run Gb, all that sunshine and scenery, wonderfull :o))

Thanks, San !
Thanks again, Uma, apparently this plant favours what is called a "Mediterranean Climate", which is what we have right here. (and in some other places, such as California and Perth (Australia), as well as the countries round the Mediterranean Sea) - moderately cold (no snow) winter rainfall with dry, warm, sunny summers.

Thanks for the info, Gurth! Any chance to grow outdoors where I live...:) But it's a good houseplant.
