An Algarve Garden - 2022

Looking really good Vicky&J.

 

Thank you Upsy. At least these units are not too intrusive. It is what we have in the lounge. kitchen and bedrooms. They are quiet too. Not too expensive either at 730 Euros (£642) for unit and installation.

 

A few blooms with our hazy warm sun. Out front on the new trellises ...

Mandevilla waking up ...


A surprise self-seeded Thunbergia alata (Black-eyed Susan Orange) climbing up the Mandevilla ...


Passiflora edulis ...




Alstroemeria 'Inticancha Bryce', dwarf variety blooming a second time ...

 

Victoria !! Lovely pictures, you must be so so proud of what you have achieved, it’s looking really good now

 

Thank you Karen, I am, here are some shots taken before the heat of the day starts so all in the shade.








... and Van in the Avocado tree pot ...

... and Munchkin saying hello ...

 

Vicky you have lots of beautiful plants, aaawe your cat looks so comfy there, they are gorgeous! thanks for cheering me up

 

Victoria, thank you for the pictures, and thank you for pointing me to this forum, which is getting me very excited about gardening in the future.

 

Hey there and ! Glad you joined us ... you will get so much advice here. Please introduce yourself in the welcome forum. You will note I have a new thread each year going through the seasons.

Catch up with you as and when.

 

The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis are freshening up and the camera does not do justice to this Pink one. In actuality it has a slight Peach tone to it (but none of our phone cameras capture it) and it is darker in reality and like crepe paper ...

 

Very pretty Vicky.

 

Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi' bordering the dining area coming into its element but desperately needing rain ...

 

Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas because it has the light scent of Ginger) ...






Bougainvilla over the entrance gate ...




Van has changed places to the Thevetia peruviana pot out front ...

... when Munchkin is not in it ...

 

They surprise you overnight ... these Hibiscus are on the same bush, different colours on different stems ...


A sunny view ...


Van asleep in his tree house where he stays for hours ...

 

Pachira Aquatica looking good on the Dining Patio ...


Munchkin looking good in front of Plumbago. Iochroma, Hibiscus ...


Van looking good snoozing ...

 

I sat out catching a few rays of sun this morning and love the view from my chair of the Plumbago and Tecoma (Ginger Thomas) behind ...


Then J harvested the pups from the Yukkas out on the lane and temporarily planted two in the trough on the table out front where I have my Adenium/Plumeria Nursery and a few other things I am nuturing ...


There are at least two Adeniums alive that sadly got sunburnt .... I am not giving up on them yet and they get covered at night (cover behind in background).

We don't smoke ... the ashtray has water in it for Munchkin, although there is a stainless steel water bowl under the table they both use.
