Flowers of Gran Canaria

I spent four days on the island of Gran Canaria, staying in Las Palmas, but visiting the sunnier southern places on two occasions. There are flowers blooming all year round on the island, so in May too. I walked through the dunes in Maspalomas, where there grow some plants with tiny yellow flowers.

Garden stuff

Today has been a truly warm sunny day, and I did a whole lot of things in our garden. First off, I raked and cleaned off the patch with the spring onions, and found some rucola growing underneath of all the crap! The I planted a bougainvillea in a pot that I placed in one of my twig bunnies. I also sowed some flower seeds to pots and the clay pot.

Our spinach is growing nicely, and at least one of the aubergines has sprouted. The biggest tulip has opened.

The neighbor's cherry tree is producing flowers, but isn't quite blooming yet.
