Plants and Flowers for Spanish Gardens

Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue. My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list. Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Spring is springing everywhere. Buds forming, seeds sprouting, tomato plants planted and to top the sunshine a package has arrived. Bulbs, tubers and seeds from ABC Bulbs and Seeds in Alfacar near Granada.

Now to all who moan about the Spanish postal system top this. Posted by Peter Ashby in Alfacar on 21st March, received by me in Jaén province (well left on my doorstep after much insistent hooting) at 12.15 on March 22nd, not bad going eh!

Habranthus brachyandrus

Thank you Spanish postal system and most importantly ABC for adding some more welcome colour and sunshine to my day. I´ve now to read up on how and when to plant my goodies properly. So if you´re looking for some spice for your garden check the ABC website out.

Don´t forget to come back and see my progress reports, taking photos of flowers beats even castles and monuments.

What´s in my box? The bulbs or seeds for these lovely flowers, all the images are copyright ABC Bulbs and Seeds.
