As a northern European one of the delights of the Algarve is that even in the depth of winter it feels like spring – not only is it warmer but there are always flowers. So being here in spring it is almost overwhelming with the flora.
I have so many photographs of the gorgeous flora in the Ria Formosa, it is probably going to take a few posts to share everything. Here is just a little of what we have seen over the past few days.
You may have noticed some photographs are without captions. I am working on this! It is just there is a little problem . . . . . . I don’t actually know the name of everything I am photographing yet. I’ve set myself the challenge of getting to know the names of what I am observing. This will be helped enormously once I get my hands on the Field Guide to Wildflowers in the Algarve which my wonderful mum has bought me for Easter, but in the meanwhile I’m doing what I can via two helpful websites – Algarve Wildlife and Valter Jacinto’s photo gallery.
If though there are any flowers you know the name of but I have yet to label, then please do let me know by leaving a comment below.
