This was tiny when first planted, I had to clip the points off so I could garden round it. At the back is a beautiful old olive. Also there is a mimosa dealbata and Nispero shrub which had the most heavenly scented flowers in December.

Yes, we were Marguerite, but it became too much for us, the land was 4.50 acres, the garden 1 acre, we grew carobs too for chocolate or animal feed, I remember picking them for about 5 days for the grand amount of 30euros(£20), no wonder the local farmers tittered when they saw us coming!

The one in the foreground is an Osteospurmum, the other is lampranthus again, only a purple variety. The yellow is Marguerite, Marguerite!!
