Echium candicans (Pride of Madeira) is a common plant in the south of France. The bees and butterflies just love it.
An apology that I've not been commenting much of late. Got friends for the Monte Carlo Tennis Open and 10 dogs en pension because it's school holiday time in this part of France (and all the dogs are in the house!) so here's a shot of a corner of my garden taken this morning. I'll catch up with comments next week. Forgive - and thanks so much for comments on my blogs.
Oh, my! Took my breath away! I grew up next to the poppy field, so this is very sentimental to me...
ReplyDeleteSo, that's your garden view? What a lucky, lucky dog (!) you are ;-)))
I am surprised that you even have time to post with your crazy schedule! Hang in there - it will soon be over and you'll have time to go out into that gorgeous garden of yours and actually smell those Echium candicans...
Last thing re: photo size. No template tweaking is required.
Just change that 400 number I mentioned to you before to 640 and the photo will fill your screen! .
Try it, you'll like it ;-)
Reading Isabella's comment, I think my explanation was not good, sorry Jilly...
ReplyDeleteYour garden is a lovely and sunny place! Those Echium grow in Brittany also, but they need warmth. I like them very much.
Have a nice (and busy!) week end.
The bright dots of flowers really "make" this photograph!
