Una de las maneras de enfriar paredes es colocar vegetación al frente. Hace rato queremos poner alguna enredadera, pero no podemos hacer hoyos en la pared. La vecina nos había regalado recortes de su Ipomoea, que sembramos en macetas en lo que hacíamos alguna estructura móvil. Ya habían pegado y periódicamente había que desenredarlas de las otras plantas que tenemos sembradas. Finalmente ayer quedó listo un soporte para que se trepen y las instalamos. Justo a tiempo para la época de calor. #PlantasUrbanas #FloraUrbana #UrbanFlora #ClimateChangeAdaptation #Gardening #Jardineria

Wow. Look at this beauty!!
It is a GarryaElliptica, aka the coast silk-tassel, silk tassel bush or wavyleaf silktassel.
It is a part of the family Garryaceae, native to the coastal ranges of California and southern Oregon.
It is an erect, bushy, evergreen shrub reaching a height of 2–5 m (7–16 ft).
This one is large and the masses of draping flowers are just beautiful, don’t you think?
🙌🤍

Oh, a #RainbowLorikeet photobombed at the precise time!

A domestic #olivegrove consisting of a few hundred trees in #Centralvictoria #Australia… just after #dusk.
These will be ready to pick soon.
The trees will be subject to a machine that will ‘shake’ each of them one by one carefully (and with love!), so that the olives drop on a mat and scooped up into a hopper.
This machine is called a ‘shaker’, funny enough!
We’ve had many a year prior, with dozens of peeps from near and far coming to pick for a few hours over a weekend - and rewarded with a hearty spread, vino and cheer.
Loads of strangers turn up to participate.
Olives go off to a small processing plant nearby and come back as oil. Loads of rain last year which means a bumper crop this year.
This lot will yield between 1000 - 2000 litres this year I think…
Pretty cool!

OMG!
It’s #camellia season!
#CamelliaSasanqua is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan.
This one is gorgeous and healthy. The leaves are characteristically shiny (some are waxy) and the deep pinks of the petals and yellows of the filament-anthers are something else.

Getting nostalgic today!
These were a regular feature in most #Melburnian’s homes in the 60’s - 90’s and now of course!
They’re good ‘ol charming #Pelargonium, from the #geranium family
These are native to southern Africa in the western regions of the Cape Provinces and they do oh so well in our neck of the woods, too!
🙏♥️

#iceplant’s are so nice. They’re understated and humble in appearance but when they’re out, they’re just lovely.
It’s native to the Eastern Cape in South Africa and is naturalised in Portugal and the states of South Australia, Western Australia, and Victoria in Australia, as well as Pacific Grove, California.
Not sure how a species becomes ‘naturalised’ elsewhere, but apparently it is, in those other locales according to wiki.
Anyone have any idea?

#olives (Olea europaea) are natives of the #mediterranean parts of #asia and #africa and have been in cultivation for thousands of years.
There is archeological evidence that indicate olives were grown in #crete as early as 3500 BC and olives are some of the oldest living trees in #europe with a few believed to be well over 1,000 years old.
These 500 or so #olivetrees on the farm produce well over 1000 litres of oil, after being picked and pressed nearby.
It’s a young #olivegrove; about 25 years old but has produced a bumper crop during most of those years. Draught however, impacts yield from year to year.
Fruit will start to appear in the coming weeks and harvest will be late March, through to April. There’s usually a large window of opportunity to pick olives in #centralvictoria #Australia. D#And it’s all dependent on weather and the development of fully ripened #olives 🫒
Picking has always been a festive event with people from near and far coming to participate. Once all the hard work is done, food, drink and merriment normally follows!
🙏💖
