Rhaphiolepis umbellata and R indica both in flower now.
Cyprus Branch Head. Gardens in a field 40 m above sea level with reasonably fertile clay soil.
"Aphrodite emerged from the sea and came ashore and at her feet all manner of plants sprang forth" John Deacon (13thC AD)

Nice, John.
My pink one is having a very good flowering, too.
