Madeira

Beautiful Strongy. A place I really want to visit - thanks for sharing

 

It is a great place, so peaceful.
Here are some flowers from various gardens.

Alamanda Carthatica, Golden Trumpet.


Calliandra Tweedii, Mexican Flame Bush.


Cassia Didymobotrya, Candlestick Cassia with Frangipani behind.


Hedychium, Ginger Lillies everywhere.


Caesalpinnia Pulcherima, Royal Poincianna/Peacock Flower


Plumeria Rubra, Frangipani, the scent is overpowering.

 

So much more lush that Southern Spain, despite being much further south. Some great pictures there Strongy.

 

And it's only 3 hours away from here!:thumb:

 

:gnthb:Keep em coming Strongy great stuff.:gnthb:

 

Shiney, even now I think they are regreting some introductions which are invading the island e.g Hedychiums and Acacia Longofolia.
This time of year it is blue and white, Agapanthus and Hydrangeas.
I bought and brought two potted Frangipanis back with me plus some various seeds.

 

The two I brought home and just repotted today (as they were rooted in cut off water bottles) are in the utility room here, not at work, not risking RSM!:D
One has a flower bud so i'll take a pick if they open.
Here are some more (what more?):snz: flowers.

An unusual coloured Bougie.


Thunbergia Mysorensis, Mysore Thorn.


A 'tree' of bromeliads.


Yucca 'Gigantienormica':D


Dracaena Terminalis with berries.


One and a half Cyathea.

 

Wonderful pictures Strongy. Fantastic to have a holiday, and have all those plants thrown in as well.

 

You could say it was 'a busman's holiday' but that's what I went there for.
I wil have to go again when the wild flowers are in bloom.

 

Your suitcase must have rattled with all those seeds.

 

what a lovely place strongy and you got some nice pics of flowers very nice, its a place ive never been to madeira, that bougie is very nice just a lovely colour, well done great show
