Hilary we are still waiting for us to produced some fruit. They do well in the Paphos area not far from us, they get the sea breeze and a bit more water than ours but I am optimistic that they will do us proud one day. Thank you again for inform us and posting interesting photos.

I saw a plant with a red flower in a nursery at the weekend that I didn't know existed. I was thinking about buying one but I read on the label it needs regular watering. Research on the internet says that it is drought resistant. Galvezia speciosa.Aka Gambelia speciosa. Shall I, shan't I? Shall I, shan't I? Shall I, shan't I?


'
I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.
