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.

Monday Morning Photo - Esparto Craft at the Botanical Garden of Cacti and Succulents, Casarabonela

The Jardin Botánico de Cactus y Suculentes ¨Mora i Bravard   or The Botanical Garden of Cacti and Succulent Plants in Casarabonela contains one of the best collections of cacti and succulent plants in Europe.
It always has Esparto crafts and demonstrations of this once necessary, now dying, skill.
