Hello there,
I'm new to this forum and I'm also a beginning Mediterranean gardener and a beginning novelist.
I live in the Haut-Languedoc area of France and my novel is set at in the same region and has some references to Mediterranean gardening. I don't want to make any
betises in my writing, so I wonder if any well-informed members could help me with some questions:
1) could I have fragrant wild violets flowering in the beginning of May? They can be at quite high altitude if necessary to make this plausible...
2) could I have glycine (wisteria) in bud at the end of april, just beginning to flower a few days later in the beginning of May? This would be at about 300-500 metres
3) could anybody suggest a plant that flowers in the beginning of april and is very fragrant? Is it too late for Mimosa at about 300-500metres?
4) Figs bearing fruit in June?
5) Elderflower out at anything up to 900 metres as late as June?
I'm ready to stretch the boundaries of probability, but don't want to write anything downright impossible!
Thanks so much in advance
