An Algarve Garden 2024/2025

There is one pot there that would drive me crazy, I'd have to pick it up.

 

The long one on its side I presume.

 

Most annoying

 

I think it shows creative flair @Victoria, but I know what @pete means, at first glance !

 

The Melaleuca had gotten a bit of hand at the base of the trunk and made a 'hedge' in the rockery so I had Ben cut most of it down.

Before ...


After ...


It also made the Callistemon more visible from the house ...



Bougainvilla by the house ...


Corner of Front of House Patio ...

 

The Bougainvillea seems to be in flower for 12 Months a year almost.

 

I think this one takes a couple of month's break. The bright pink one over the gates blooms later and for not as long.

 

the weather over there looks gorgeous Victoria i like your plant pots they look very creative

 

Abutilon tree is coming back to life ...



Hibbertia scandens (Snake Vine) starting to flower and looking good since its massive cutback in 2022 due to new roof being installed ..

I moved the large ones to the step on the Raised Patio and left the babies on the coffee table ...


I got this one from Spain. It was called Orange Yellow.


It arrived with buds which are Yellow. First bud opening yesterday ... it was windy ...


Opened fully today ...


Added another Hibiscus to my collection ...Long Life 'Pacific Beauty ...It is paler than it looks with a hint of pink in the middle ...

Wow Victoria I feel like I’m in summer looking at your lovely flowers…. That last one was my favourite as blue is mine and my mums favourite colour, I bet it’s lovely sitting in the shade with a nice glass of Prosecco

 

Thank you Flumpy. I got the Fantasy Hibiscus and Hydrangea for my birthday on Monday.

This is where we sit with a drink (J beer and me Rum and Coke) ... The Sandbar (Front of House Patio) where I see most of the photos I take ...

It has been enjoyable looking through your posts @Victoria (I don't know how I missed so many but it's nice to see several at a time anyway)
Those Hibiscuses are lovely as usual
