Since I have lived in Spain, in Andalucia, I have lived in the mountains, and the climate is dryer but more varied through the year, between 10c/40F to 48c/130F!

I was overjoyed to follow Fine Gardening, and discover more about the plants that would grow naturally and suddenly!

We have a roof terrace across the whole roof and it catches all the sun! All day different areas are illuminated and highlighted and I try to photograph them all!

This flower opens and closes around dusk and dawn, casting tiny shadows that are very pretty.
