Flowers In The Wilderness

This weekend we spent a couple of days camping in the Maltese countryside.  Here are some pictures of wild flowers that we came across.

Capers growing in the wild

Convonvulus, Malta
These flowers were infested with red mites

Lovely Iris - Apparently very good for your cough

    Bit disconcerted, there are no dates on your posts. No idea what month or year you are writing about, and how to fit the posts together, before, or after.

    Also, I have skimmed your posts and I presume you are in Malta. Would be nice to have a little geography in your About, or an 'about me and my garden' post. Gardening is so tied to geography and time of year ;~)

    Wow, I've never seen a caper plant before, those flowers are beautiful! Can you grow them in pots? Perhaps you could bring some of the countryside to your container garden. Thanks for faving my blog!
