debris4spikeRhodes pride themselves on the amount of sunny days they have in a year - and after leaving a wet, green England it was amazing to see that the most commone flower we saw was this -
They were everywhere - and all that the goats seemed to eat!
Behind the cut are other plants we saw - as there are a lot of natural springs the towns and holiday complexes were watered overnight, so quite a lot of other flowers around.
The entrance to our complex -
Close up of the plant near our poor. These were everywhere.

Date: 2008-09-15 08:15 pm (UTC)The pink flowers are Bougainvillea, the red one is a Hibiscus, i've seen the last one in Singapore and the States but i'm not sure what it's called, and the white one is familiar too....very pretty, it looks like you've really got to grips with the new camera, i'm glad you had a good time,isn't it nice to get some sun :)

Yes, getting organised with the camera - still can't do "indoors" though - Tried taking some pics in aChurch - not really any good, and no time to experiment.
Yes, sun - that was a suprise ... it still exists!!!
