An orange theme today with Lantana, Spathodea campanulata (African Tulip tree), lots of Pyrostegia (Flamevine) starting to open and Aloe looking out to sea… #SharingMadeira 🧡🌱

Bright pink orchid label says Wilsonara Intermezzo

Found a pic of W orchid hybrid with a label (!) saying ‘Wilsonara Intermezzo’
Also for me W is for wild Watsonia #AtoZ #SharingMadeira

A collage of Funchal Christmas lights and rainbows

Obrigada, ciao

It’s been happening
A multitude of rainbows
Thank you and goodbye
