An Algarve Garden 2014

My, where does the time go to ...

I have my favourite shrub blooming at the moment so thought I would share it with you ... the Callistemon viminalis ...









I seem to have a restriction on photos so will start another thread ... (to be continued) ...

 

... continued ...



... and the Meluleuca is starting to get it's white brushes ...



... and Sunseeker climbing rose is opening ...

 

Gorgeous pics Victoria. Love that Sunseeker rose. It's wonderful seeing what you can grow in different climates.

 

Thanks for reminding me that I lost my Viminalis AND Melaleuca

When will the Jacaranda be in flower?

 

Lovely Victoria - I can just feel the warmth from those pictures. - bring on global warming.

 

Thank you lost, strongy and Peter.

Strongy, the Jacarandas have been blooming all month, but with all what's been happening I haven't been in 'photo mood' as you can appreciate.

I took a few yesterday, but it was very windy/gusty so I'll see about taking more later today.

Here's a couple of the Jacaranda ...

 

Love the interchange between the vibrancy of the light and the colour of the plants.. Bottlebrushes here (of the same type) are just coming into flower here also.. except mine, which is behind! Hope mine doesn't abort its flowers with the horrible weather on the way.. because yours remind me why I love this plants so much!

 

A few more looking good ...

Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi' ...







Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Peach Blow' ...



Euphorbia milii 'Grande' ...

 

Ah all these beautiful plants remind me of my mums garden near Boliqueime. With Huge lemon tree, Orange, Apricot Banana and Pomegranate memories :-)

 

Hi Alta and welcome to GC.

We are about 20kms west of Boliqueime so near neighbours! It's a lovely part of the country.
