I love this season, and can’t resist posting about it each year. The swallows have arrived, geckos are running up the walls. As everything is drying up, colors burst all around .
My agapanthus is out.
Oleander bushes are the best things to plant in Greece, since they don’t need water once they’ve had a good start in life. They can grow to be huge, and flower all summer long.
Bougainvillea – bright as flames.
Even roadside weeds are pretty.
And the figs are coming along nicely.
