🌱 Had a tidy up & thinned out these bright red florist Kalanchoe #succulents that have been blooming for weeks without asking for much. As a result I've ended up with some neat new cuttings which I've started off in succulent compost in a seed tray.

Jk Rowling funded this case which was thrown out in Scotland & then taken to Supreme Court in London who overturned decision of Scottish courts. This is & has been a politically driven ambush (again) of Transgender rights by groups claiming to be "feminists " who lobby/campaign 1/2

🌱Had a little bit more light rain this morning. Pics from gravel garden. I'm trying to encourage germination of Poppies in the gravel as I'm keen to move away from perfectly tidy look we inherited to pollinators welcome everywhere

🌱Just had to share this picture of a neighbours tree covered in the most magnificent #wisteria. She's 90, & planted it when she moved to Spain 32 years ago as a moving in present. The original tree has been literally covered in wisteria growth. It really is the most magnificent sight

🌱Last September, whilst at beach , I was impressed by a ground cover succulent that was creeping along & over the sandbanks. I took a couple of cuttings and stuck the pieces into 3 separate pots, with other plants then forgot about. Such a surprise today to spot this beauty T.Y Hottentot Fig

🌱Happy #flowerFriday There's a story behind this one. My wonderful m-i-l loved Arums & had a magnificent batch growing in her garden. We managed to propogate some of it's massive "system" & bring it with us to Spain. In turn I then planted in several places in beds & pots throughout the garden

🌱 Almost a sensory overload at the mo. The pink jasmine is in full bloom & because we're smack in the middle of orange growing region, the orange blossom is too. Just wow #gardeninginspain Zone 10 something, Valencia region, Spain

Tweet 1: 🌱🌱☀️ Good morning! Start your day with the healing power of nature. A cup of chamomile tea, the fresh scent of peppermint, and the calming presence of lavender—it’s the perfect way to wake up! 🌿✨

🌱 So lucky to be surrounded by greenery. Just taking a moment. It's definately a "matches my jeans" #blue-sky kind of day

🌱 Cut back my rose bushes a few weeks back. Look at this new leaf growth hanging on to the early morning dew. In another life it might be an Emerald & Ruby necklace pendant edged with diamonds 💎 #flowersonFriday #bloomscrolling

The UK & US have aligned of late in their vile & divisive far right, post truth political campaigns weaponising minority groups as a distraction technique to distract from what they're NOT delivering. #transgender people have been disproportionately targetted. And that's why I'm sharing this 1/3

🌱 I was on the beach at 8.15am this morning, walking Rayo as it's a glorious, sunny day 🌄 . Our return walk was along the prom where I spotted this stunning "Pride of Madeira" plant in full bloom. It was a definite "I've got to plant one of these" moments which I know we can all relate to 😄

🌱 The sun is shining bright today & combination of that & flowers currently in bloom has brought out pollinators. Spotted 4 different #butterflies (3 of same species) & a whole host of busy #bees who love the Bermuda buttercup/sorrel I really do love this time of year

Germany, the UK, and Canada are warning their citizens not to travel to the United States because it is now a dangerously corrupt country under Donald Trump. But, sure, MAGA, keep telling yourselves that lie about Trump raising America's standing in the world. Idiots.

Absolutely right. Government is planning to strip vital support from a million disabled people – but they won’t even consider introducing a fair tax on the extremely wealthy, even though this would raise nearly 5 times more. They urgently needs to rebalance their priorities ⚖️
