An Algarve Garden

those lamps attached to the wall look really nice

 

LoL they look great, would like to see them lit at night, bet they look fab.
sure looking forward to that day when we pack up and go to spain

 

they do look great LoL, i noticed they were your recycled lamps.. FAB

 

Sorry, mira, rosa and ydd. I think they are brilliant ... in looks ... not in ambience ... they are not wired up and I can't see this happening in the near future. :D

 

thats a shame LoL, they would look fab lit up, they are very nice

 

What a fabulous garden LoL

Beautifully maintained, well done the pair of you.

 

Good morning, pip. There is only one gardener in this household ... thank you for the compliments.

T'other half has been known to manhandle the hose on the odd occasion as his irrigation system is very hit and miss.

 

good morning all, LOL my hubs the same, great at building,gardening no no no, he tried to help once when i was out, dug up my lovely plants thinking they were weeds he cant make the bed properly either :D

 

LOL
just been through all 21 pages
never get tired looking at your beautiful garden
the colours ,reds and pinks,are stunning your lamps are great on your wall,cant you put candles in them? keep your pictures coming we all love them

 

At least mine doesn't even attempt gardening, Cutie, thank goodness ... a true blessing.

Kathy, you really must have the patience of Job. My door is always open to you.

I had thought about tea lights but then had second thoughts that that may negate the electricity going in. :eek: It's a tough project as the walls of the outdoor living room are like the house ... made of stone and clay and 60cm thick.

And I want to see some of your stormy pics over the winter.

 

I have to admit ... I am addicted to flowers and I can't resist catching them in the morning sun ...

Begonia ...



Bougainvillea by the gate (trailing on the ground on Aptenia) ...



Bougainvillea by the house ...



Cyclamen under the Jacaranda ...



Double Hibiscus (the first year it was double, second year single and now third year double again ????) ...



Single Hibiscus, a true beauty this one ...



And the darling Violas which seem to bloom non stop on the kitchen patio ...

 

just beautiful LOL,look in non gardening discussion,were coming to get you :D :D

 

Thank you Kathy ... I'm looking forward to it.

 

Nice pics as usual LoL I find with hibiscus the colour varies a lot I have one that started yellow this year is still throwing flowers out but now they are red

 

I have some ABELMOSCHUS MANIHOT just coming up.
Here are the pictures. The one on its own is more grown up, because as you can see the pointy leaf in the middle is bigger, the others were sown at the same time but they had less light in the last five days.
