Holidays are great for caching up with reading. I took with me a considerable
number of books divided, some of them about history of gardening and
I enjoyed very much the one about history of styles in gardening (in Spanish),
a kind of short volume but with concise information.
I am half way through (I was too optimistic with my reading during holidays!)

I have seen these trees in different regions, used in different gardening style
contexts including ornamenting the sidewalks in cities. I love the blooming

in Majorca (Balearic Island, Spain) that I wanted to share with you.
