There is only one problem with this time of the year and it's that the weather is so varied. Yesterday and today have been back to the blue sky and sunshine of a few days ago. The forecast was predicting 13° sun and cloud for today, well, if I'd seen a cloud I'd have taken a photo of it. None to be seen. We had breakfast outside, elevenses outside, lunch outside and have only just come in as there is now a thin layer of cloud and the sun is vanishing fast. The shade temperature reached 16° but the sun was hot, and strong enough to leave me with strap marks from my t-shirt.
A lovely morning walk to Yegen - no coat needed - not even a fleece - and this afternoon we went up to the fuente and back. Lots more wild flowers in bloom now but unfortunately I have no idea what most of them are. Our plant book doesn't have everything in it but if anyone knows what these are, please add a comment....
These are covering most of the ground around the olive terraces of a neighbour, I think they are Field Marigold, a wild version of the cultivated garden one.
These have suddenly appeared at the fuente, never seen them before, and can't find them in the plant book. They are a much stronger pink than it seems from the photo, the sun was shining directly on them and has bleached out the colour. Any ideas??
And these pinky-purple flowers seem to clamber up the bankings, lots of tiny flowers on each stalk, almost bell like. Again, any ideas??
