Just loving the different plants down here all so adapted to the hot dry but sometime humid climate. The olive trees as I keep saying are everywhere and all so ancient but lots of the older one are being just left as some of the bigger corporation are flooding the market with cheep labour oils so it's had for some of the original farmers to survive. That + the GFC and we are seeing places just abandoned. But there is a small resurgence coming through in the name of agrotourism that is helping both the farmers and the local southern communities solder on. Some pictures from seen to not seen, some prickley some not and lastly 2 beautiful Bougainville in flower.

ReplyDeleteMmm love the plant pics Pete, the prickly pears are cool bit nasty on the outside though!
