Secret Seeds
Gran Canaria - Jan 2002
Just a few images of wild and garden flowers we encountered...
wild miniture marigolds (limited seed will be available in the season)
Canarina canariensis (no seed currently available - but we do have a parent plant awaiting sucessful flower buds!)
Ipomoea palmata - growing right on the beach. We have taken some cuttings!!
Solandra maxima - again no seeds - but we do have a few cuttings on the go!
Clerodendrum aculeatum - growing wild
Chamaecytisus proliferus - darn it - wrong time of year for seed!
Cassia didymobotrya - we did get just one or two seeds to start us with some stock plants!!
Thunbergia grandiflora and friends...
Neochamaelea pulverulenta
Solanum vespertilio.
and finally... a typical southern mountain terrain - Gran Canaria - just after the winter rains.
