Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Wildflowers in Andalucia - a Colourful May

For the last two or three years since the use of weed killer was banned the increase in wildflowers is incredible. A rainbow tapestry carpets the roadsides and olive groves from early to late spring.

Late April and May is the best time to visit, certainly well inland where I live. I'm looking forward to the display this year, but here I've hunted out a few old snaps as a taster.
