by Carl von Linné ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lavandula angustifolia As soon as you come a bit higher up from the ocean, they start to show up on the hillsides. And they smell wonderful (to me). ![]() Along the main-road to San Sebastian, we passed this flowering tree. ![]() ![]() ![]() We believe this to be some kind of magnolia, which is not very likely, and no confirmation yet. ![]() This one looked as a brush which you use when cleaning bottles. ![]() As many other flowers in the trees, they only were blooming for a few days. ![]() Small flowers on the roadside, often difficult to see. Lantana camara? ![]() Here we came to late to see the flowers. ![]() Normally all people had plants in pots outside their houses, not as at home, where most plants were inside... or as one african girl once said visiting us in Norway: 'Look, mum, they have their garden inside!". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Norway it is called 'Julestjerne', = Christmas-star Euohorbia pulcherrima - Spansk: Flor de Pascua ![]() Why can't people like them throughout the year, not just in December? ![]() Acebuche - Olea europaea cerasiformis ![]() Flower coming on a strange fruit-tree ![]() which showed to be a Psidium guajava, so now you know, too. It tasted delicious. ![]() Here is a plain Lemon-tree, that one we know of. ![]() Hibiscus, soon with lot more flowers ![]() What else is so beautiful? More here. ![]() ![]() Next comes the Tulip-tree, which is obviously not the right name. ![]() Castanospermum australe might be more correct. Black Bean in english. ![]() See the flower in between the branches? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is a new flower coming up ![]() and a bee having a nice meal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This last one were found in the old laurasilva wood near El Cedro: ![]() ![]()
