"You never promised me a rose-garden"
We saw many many tropical and beautiful intensive coloured flowers, "without roses I always love so much , haha!"We saw them in the public gardens, but also 'everywhere/wild on the streets ' in ITALY- Taormina. NO you should not pick them , that's forbidden don' you see?
*
In Italie/Taormina zagen we in o.a. een bloementuin (zonder rozen haha), maar ook gewoon op straat deze prachtige geleurde, tropische bloemen, en het is ECHT verboden om ze te plukken !

I guess some refreshing flowers would be nice... after all, with your artistic touch who knows what amazing surprises we could get?
Yes, the flowers are beautiful!! I think the picture is a good size for your blog because it gets bigger when you click on it. Congratulations on your award. :-)

Congratulations on your award! The flowers in Italy are very pretty. It would be hard not to sneak a pick!
I also enlargened your "collage" and got your flowers in big! Really nice! If the sign hadn't been there, would you have picked some?
Congratulations to the award!
How is your back?
I miss the flowers already... they were fully bloomed in Canada till about two weeks ago. Now it's gonna be winter soon...
Hi JoAnn, congratulations for a great blog! I just love your photos!!! I'll be coming often to see more :D
No need to go to Naples (or Taormina), Italy to see those lovely flowers! Just come to Naples, Florida - they are growing outside my window all year round!!!
(BTW - in English, the purple hedge is called bougainvillea and the blooms are hibiscus)
i havent seen such wide variety of hibiscus before........and lol @
"You never promised me a rose-garden"
those hibiscus are beautiful and remind me of my times in warmer and sunnier locations! Lovely colours..
Like Peter, I'm wondering if you would have picked one!
I answered your question in the comments for the 30.10 post. And today we're back in Nederland.

Lovely hibiscuses! (hibisci?) Beautiful.
And YES, I designed that award for you because you deserved it.
A lot of hibiscus which are fabulous. The one here that I don't remember ever seeing in Portugal is the orange one, bottom left. There are many of the pink/whites, less of the yellows and reds. Always a pleasure to see. But I think that the orange should be introduced too.
