Soon our hillsides will be covered by almond blossom, it's a remarkable sight and one we look forward to every year. These particular trees are always early and the bees love them. I do fear for these ones though because we are due a big drop in temperature from Wednesday across Spain, including the Alpujarras 🥶

Beautiful almond blossom

Here come the Giants. Well actually it's the only one and it's a young Giant so it's quite small and the rest of his friends only have their leaves showing 😁 Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum robertianum) taken with a mobile this morning.
