Monday we went to finish cutting down the alder, we only had the main trunk to go but it still took till late lunchtime to log, barrow, load the car and get it here. Then we cleared up the debris - twigs and leaves on the ground, in the acequia etc. While we were doing this I saw a flower that I thought I'd seen a picture of but wasn't sure of it's name, took pictures anyway and then looked in the wildflowers of Spain book when we got home. It turns out to be a Dutchman's pipe, don't know where else it grows in the world, maybe it's really common!!!! Anyway we collected some seed pods too - they are really big and fat, far bigger than the flower and open up like a cup shape - we're hoping to grow some up fences around the olive tree in the front garden.
