A Sicilian Garden - succulents heaven

Compagnia del Giardinaggio :: Leggi Argomento - Rockreportage – La terrazza di Opuntia

 

Blimey, Sicily looks like a spikey place to live.

Very Nice

 

Bello!

 

Truly Mediterranean!!

 

Indeed

 

I translated this and read right through, everyone loves this thread, don't they, they're all praising you

I'm not a fan of cacti and succulents but they look very good there, it reflects the arrid nature of that area/place, some of the other plants take my fancy .... was the dark reddish one with the curled edges a type of coleus ? I think i saw some stachys and what looked like a jasmine flower on one plant - it could have been a cactus flower though.

A lovely thread

 

for instanct translation, if you have GOOGLE TOOLBAR:

you click that blue tool on the right

then you go >options>tools>translate

and there you can set the option to translate "as you go" (as you hover over a single word or highlight a paragraph), which if you read here and there is much more practical than transalting the whole page.


Glad you like it LouiseD, and as you said it does reflect very well a typical vegatation of the Sicilian area, although I myself have never been there, but I know.

 

some more recent pictures of the same place (those doves have built their nest in a pretty safe place I should think)

Definitely a 'Spikey lovers' idea of heaven.
Interesting to see a Plumeria in flower there.

 

Wonderful ,I also liked the Plumeria ...
