I particularly like the iffy looking bridge, I could have fun trying to coax SWMBO over that :-)) I wish I could help with the IDs, but unfortunately not. Some friends went there recently, and I must put it on my list of places to go. Steve |

Some friends went there recently, and I must put it on my list of places to go. Steve I think thats the oddest thing about the place, Liz is terrified of heights and will not even drive on the nearside lanes on bridges, I am not keen above a ladders length either, yet we find we can thread our way along paths with very steep drops, must be the vegetation or something. Of course you always have plan B for the tricky bits (not yet resorted to) of taking off shoes and socks and walking down the lavada itself! Lovely photos, Charlie but I do admit you're far more energetic than we were when we were there! ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

I was interested to see the flowers on the Kapok tree. When I was there a few years ago at the end of Feb, the Kapok was blowing all over the park. Flowers much better! There were no agapanthus flowers also, but I did manage to salvage a few seeds, which have grown quite well. I'd like to go again at a more floriferous time of year. Where do you stay? In Funchal?

Looked to me as if the actual ground was made up by a retaining wall then back filled to get it level, amazing views from there. The bit you walk on is made of small pieces of basalt rock rather like a mosaic in all one colour! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Lovely - I'm collecting examples of surfaces and textures - this is quite amazing and I don't know much about Madeira. Thank you for sharing these. Could I use this photo - not for publication. Yet ;o) |

Yet ;o) Yes, its not very clear, but then I was not photographing the stones!! They use a lot of these small round basalt pebbles in there paths, they look fab but are leathal when wet. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
