TODAYS FLOWERS - FROM SPAIN

This striking deep blue flower was climbing up walls and on other plants everywhere in the Costa Del Sol.

A type of bindweed is my guess – or CONVOLVULUS. We have it in the UK but I have only seen it with white flowers.

Can be a nuisance as it is a vigorous grower and can choke other plants.

The buds are a pretty shade of pink.

Here is another type of Angel Trumpet. Not as intricate as the previous one I posted but lovely in it’s simplicity.

Sadly, most of the blooms were past their best. Except for this one.

I just love bouganvilli - saw it in many different colours.

Finally, for this week, a honeysuckle dripping with blooms and filling the air with it’s powerful scent.

  2. Gorgeous shots!
    The arm and hand give a nice perspective of just how big the Trumpet bloom is.
    The pergola of bouganvilla must be lovely to see in person. I'm struck by all those colors - lovely!

    Good week for you!

  11. Hi JJ, fantastic photos of all these gorgeous flowers. I have honeysuckle in my garden and I love its perfume, especially when on a warm night. The Angel Trumpet I discovered on last year's visit to Canada and since through TF, thanks to great shots like yours.

  12. Hi Jean, enjoying your stories from Spain - glad you made it there and am wondering if you're home yet. I'd better have a talk with Mike about his wild night - these guys never grow up do they????

    Thanks for your kind comments on my photos from the safari - I'm pleased with them and of course will be posting more as I took over 2000! What an awesome time - best trip of my entire life.

    Love and hugs - Mary.

    P.S. They're Morning Glories - I throw the seeds around wherever they can climb during Summer. I have the yellow Angel Trumpets too - had pink but they didn't survive the Winter.
