You know we have bindweed problems over here. Well in Madeira....    All taken from quite a few feet up in the Funchal cable car (That's a street light in the middle photo. There were some areas that were totally electic blue from the stuff but it's hairy enough driving let alone taking photos. |

Oh Amo, that takes me back. Tho' when we were there in April a few years ago it was Nasturtiums trailing down the cliff faces! Everywhere was orange! And......driving in Madeira?  Hope you had a lovely hol there. Me and my Sis did. |

It seems that even for a very small island, they don't do things by halves. Yes it's the weed you've been trying so hard to grow. Actually for our slightly envious eyes, it's quite a sight! The photos really don't give you the scale. Like Ruthie said, it's just cliff faces. But then there are houseplants the size of tennis courts and agapanthus are weeds, hydrangea are weeds, strelizia are weeds, bourgenvillia are weeds. It's worth going just to see the weeds!!  ;D |

I am so looking forward to my first in flower
