Hi David
I would just point out that when I went to Madeira 10 years ago we
went at the end of February, and were disappointed that there were not
many flowers to see. *It seemed to be the low point for most plants.

Thats the problem with having to holiday in the UK winter, though if
Malta is anything to go by then there are quite a lot of seeds still
hanging around on plants, and some plants do flower very early in
spring ......I hope.
