Dear All,

For those of you who want to start the winter blues I have an instant remedy. Just look at the bright blue sky on some of the pictures. The price for that is…… we are desperate for rain.
I had a short excursion to one of my favorite places in the Algarve, it is the delta of a small river with a tidal swamp, every year there is a mass flowering of the native Narcissus papyraceus. It is very scented but the scent is not to everybody’s liking.
The first two pictures show the Narcissus
The following picture is of an almond tree next to deliciously fragrant Retama monosperma
Next picture shows a potted specimen of Tropaeolum hookerianum in my garden.
Mimosas (Acacia spec.) grow everywhere but are considered as invasive weeds. However they are beautiful and strongly fragrant
The last photo is of gladiolus carinatus with Lachenalia bulbifera in my garden
Enjoy
Uli
