First fruit and nuts

Some photos today of early flowers,  fruits and  nuts.

The bank of iris which have been in full flower for a while now...

Some tiny almonds against the most amazing blue sky....

The durillo (Viburnum tinus) is an evergreen shrub which has tiny almost yellow flowers at the moment,  is humming with bees,  and later in the year it produces little black berries...

The first figs and leaves are appearing too.... early season figs - about June  -  are called brevas  whereas the main summer crop  which we pick during  August and September are called higos

Flowers on the bay tree...


And the rosemary bushes are covered in blossom and bees too.
