Seville was so impressive. The cathedral so enormous our photos couldn’t even capture it. Of course we climbed to the top of it though and looked around the alcazar marvelling at the beauty of the architecture and gardens . Yesterday landed in Lisbon. Took the sightseeing bus this morning.Read more

That is a huge london plane tree, Platanus x acerfolia

Their bougainvillea is climbing up and over what may have been the old main entrance. there was a burnt out building next to this. Colin and I wondered how fire trucks would access any of the houses in the narrow streets and we did read that there had been a big fire in the Chiado area in 1988 which devastated many buildings

I like the bamboo fence, their's is held with zap straps, mine is with raffia when I can get it. this year I just used some of these old plastic green plant ties I had in the greenhouse. i'm not the only one who uses bamboo fencing! reusable, sustainable and cheap :)Read more

Day 11
Metro, classes, gym, plazas, repeat
April 30, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Our Lisbon life has settled into a routine. Up early, metro to class, metro home to fitness center in hotel, then a few hours in plazas around town.
With a meal in a good restaurant to top it off

Today I met with a wonderful friend who is now a justice on the Portuguese Supreme Court, and as always it was as if there had not been a year’s gap since I had seen her.

Tomorrow, another national holiday, May 1, so our routine has been short-lived.Read more

Day 9
Romanesque church-going
April 28, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Our main objective of the day was to visit three romanesque churches, scattered in little villages around the Douro Valley. It made for spectacular driving to out of the way places. I will say, though, that Portuguese romanesque is just not as beautiful as what I see all the time in Spain. Joe says he has had his fill for a while, can’t say I blame him, but he was a good trooper.

When we wanted to head back to Lisbon, we were in the middle of nowhere and had to cross a pretty desolate part of the country to get to the highway. All’s well that ends well, back in Lisbon for the second week of classes.Read more

we left the garden and grabbed a coffee and a desert at a small coffee shop across the street. seems to be a common practice here as it was rather busy for 7 pm and it was not dinners they were serving.

That is a Euphorbia resinifera which I think we have grown at Bloedel in the dry section and that is an aloe in blossomRead more

These are flowering spikes of agave. the first one I don't know the species. no label and I wasn't about to crawl in with all those spiky things.

the 2nd one is agave chiapensis native to mexico and guatamala

the next pic is just a neat tropical effect in the monocot garden

the variegated yellow plant, i can't remember if that was a yucca or a dracaena. I think it was a dracaena and it had a very very spiky foliage.

I think that is one of the auracarias. not the one we grow in vancouver, monkey puzzle, auracaria auracana, but it may be A. bidwelii - the one we grow at bloedel under the dome. huge pine cone and they had one attached to the tree for all to see. they are the size of bowling balls and weigh a few kg, so you have to be wary when they are coning and dropping their cones. they can knock you out.

the last pic is a blooming opuntia, again not sure which species.

they had lots of different cycads and good information panels in both portuguese and english.Read more
