Title: Attica May 2012
Post by: Fleur Pavlidis on May 08, 2012, 11:23:57 AM

When I went out into the garden this morning the Callistemon and Caesalpinia had both burst into flower. The roses are blooming as never before, as  indeed is everything else so I decided it was now or never to post some photos.

How utterly lovely, Fleur! Thank you for sharing. Lucky you to be able to "borrow" that lovely mountain view, too. :)

Lovely Fleur. There are masses of Ebenus cretica flowering alongside the road on the north coast of Crete at the moment. I keep thinking of reasons to travel along that road at the moment, just to admire them. ::) ::) ::)
I love the photo of the lavender with the helianthemum. Do you know which helianthemum it is?

OMG!!! What a gorgeous garden!
...and Fleur, do we know the Scabiosa species? There is a Greek endemic out there that looks like yours (S. hymettia) and I'm trying to spot it this summer in Hymettus and elsewhere :-)
