Returning from a short break holiday I picked up this
colorful bouquet
along the highway, which is a selection of wild summer
flowers.
For some of them I didn’t even know their names in
Greek but
I did my research and I also found their names in
English..
So, there is Vitex agnus-castus, also called Chaste Tree
(violet color), Nerium oleander (white and pink),
Mirabilis
Jalapa or the four o'clock flower
(orange with red stripes) and some branches of pine.
In the Mediterranean zone, all fields are almost
yellow
but these flowers, resistant to high
temperatures
keep colors palette alive.
The orange bougainvillea is in full bloom despite the
winds
of June and the other one is preparing to give
us
its wonderful white flowers.
For summer I do like all shades of apricot and orange
and
last week we painted the wall of the roof terrace
in this color.
With the sun it really shines and gives a warm glowall
around.
I want to thank all blogfriends who leave me
such
warm and really interesting comments.
Especially in the last post!
They are truly appreciated!
I leave you with the fragrance of honeysuckles
and the flavor of the first nectarines.
May all the colourful, warm and sunny summer days be ahead!
