A group of us stayed in an ild farm house 50 mins North of Avignon. These are some of the things I saw;

 Pomegranites growing, I had not seen that before.

 Flower I didn't recognise.

 An olive grove next to the house.

We also saw the grapes being mechanically harvested for wine, a very clever machine!

     One photo I missed; there was a chestnut tree being attacked by a moth (I think) and last year it lost it's leaves completely quite early, so the owners have hung several of these containers around containing a pheromone (?) which will stop the cycle of moths and caterpillers.

    The olive grove's looks gorgeous artjak. image

    That second plant is interesting. Bit like the flowers on ivy. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yes Nut it is that! Very good for flower arranging, but a bit big for my gardenimageRunnyB, I didn't notice that the branches were that short, but they must have been strong. The olive grove was very magical with a misty feel to it.image
