Sunnier Climes

9 comments

We have just returned form a week’s break in sunnier climes. Here are some of photos I took while we were there of plants.
Although, we can grow Hibiscus in the UK, I think these are too tender to grow here.

I particularly like this colour and the flowers were enormous.

A white and a pink Bougainvillea growing together.

I have a pink Bougainvillea growing in a large pot in our conservatory. Although it is 17 years old it is not so floriferous as these. Mine loses its leaves in the winter and probably needs re potting.

The ground was extremely rocky but Asphodelines were growing everywhere and the wild life, goats didn’t touch them.

Possibly A. albus?

The top of a date palm, with fruit forming?

Ripening fruit on a date palm?

What is this? Does anyone know?

Possibly an annual bedding plant?

The flowers were like furry carpets.

Pomegranate fruits in the gardens

I know deer cause some gardeners problems, coming from adjoining woods, but off the cliffs?

Red at night, tourists’ delight.

Not in the UK though, heavy rain since we got back, although my one flower cluster of Bougainvillea reminded me of sunnier weather.
