The late bloomer, a bit younger almond tree in shade still blooming.
Lemon tree getting ready for the new season,
old lemons still hanging.
Invested in English roses, here the first flowers.

These pink margaritas are almost done.
Scilla peruviana, beautiful bloomer, inherited from the
previous owners of the house. So thankful.
Although the epithet peruviana means "from Peru", it is strictly a western
Mediterranean species. Linnaeus named the species in 1753, noting an
earlier name given to the plant by Carolus Clusius, Hyacinthus stellatus peruanus.
It is said that Clusius misunderstood a statement that the bulbs came from a ship
called "Peru" and thought that they came from the country. (Wiki)
Mimosa called Palma-Tiina.
Kiitos tästä hienosta kasvista!

Our orange trees are still full of oranges
and at the same time the little buds are getting bigger.
No, not an almond flower, this is the apricot tree.
Times of corona?
Well, I do follow this blog, there you find a list
of things that you are allowed to do outside your home now
during the next two weeks.
Who knows, maybe even longer?
The government has listed eight justifications for leaving home,
which include: going to buy food, medicines, other basics, and fuel
for vehicles; travelling to work and back (although businesses are obliged
to allow employees to work from home); attending health centres, or going
to a bank for money. Travelling around for pleasure is banned. Eating and
drinking out are off the menu: only businesses providing essentials
will remain open.
