fruit and flowers



Went out this afternoon for our usual walk and noticed that the nispero (medlar) trees were in flower. They have a very strong heady scent and are very attractive to bees and the trees hum for weeks on end as the flowers last so long.

This must be the smallest olive tree around here - about a year or so in the ground - but it has 2 really big olives!
