Did you know all a weed is, is an unwanted plant. In Spain there are some lovely coloured plants that grow wild.

Eddy, Margaret, kathy, I have put a photo up of weeds, walking a long the road here at the moment is better than my garden.

Margaret, we lost so much in the storm, what was left had to be cut down,
the gardens have looked so bare, nice to have a bit of colour back.

Marie, it doesn't really get cold. We maybe have a couple of weeks duing our winter, July/August where you rug up. I've lived here for 26 years after moving up from Sydney and only last year decided to buy myself a heater to put on of an evening. We do get lots of rain, very tropical and humid in the summer, a different heat to what they get down south...Robyn

Marie your pot plants are lovely. That's not 'Just Eddy" (little gnome) sneaking in to steal your flowers for his garden in Spain, hang on he's not left Bootle yet

or has he....Robyn

Robyn · Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:41 am

Hi Marie,Matt, you are probably right, I thought they may be Violas, really a pretty show....Robyn

Robyn · Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:17 am

Another Bromeliad out this week and Passionfruit. The vine is actually my neighbour's but we let it climb wherever and it's growing up through the trees we have growing on either side of our dividing fence. The fruit will change colour gradually to a purple, had some this week and they are so sweet. I don't think they grow in the UK, what about in Spain Marie?

marielou · Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:29 pm

Robyn, the Bromeliad is lovely, I had a look round the Garden Center the other day, they did not have anything like them. Passion Fruit grow here also. Lovely photo's.

Lovely flower pics ladies...
I was weeding in the garden last week, and found this flower,
anyone know what it is??. Looks like a kind of Lily,
the leaves look a bit like Cheese plants...
Shows you how bad the weeds where, I couldn't see it..

KATHY..

marielou · Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:08 pm

Kathy, it looks like a type of Lily, I have not seen it before.
It's lovely.
