An Algarve Garden 2024

Thank you for visiting @Philippa and hopefully gave you some good memories of France and Spain.

We moved here in 2001 (and owning and visiting since 1988) I never remember such hot Summers. Yes, you would get the odd day or two in the mid/high 30s, but never ongoing like this year. It has been drier than normal too. However, we may be having a return to normality this week.

 

It has been too hot to spend time in the garden, but we did some tidying and moving large pots around on the Raised Patio the other day.

Overall view to the center/left ...


L-R Aubitilon, varigated Brugmansia and Hibiscus mutabilis (Confederate Rose) ...


Jatropha interrgirina hiding behind Beacarnea ...


Two Brugmansia in middle right with Plumbago flowing through ...


Hibiscus rosa-sinensis in Sandbar where we sit in filtered sun ...

 

Some of the Hibiscus blooms this past week. remember they are mostly one -day wonders ...

 

Those hibiscus are gorgeous.

 

Your orange one is my favourite @Victoria , but they are all lovely!
