Another day, another coach trip. This one took us to the beautiful town of La Orotava in the north of the island.
 |
| That's Teide in the background, still with some snow. More of Teide next time! |
 |
| We visited the botanical gardens, with huge euphorbia... |
 |
| ...big, but not as big as the previous day's draco trees... |
 |
| ...even turtles! |
 |
| You can name the other plants yourselves... |
 |
| ...I know I have expert followers! |
 |
| However I will jump in with the stunning calliandra haematocephala alba, (sometimes called 'white powder puff'). I didn't know this one! |
 |
| Loved the bamboos, a little thicker than the ones hiding our washing line! |
 |
| Back into the town and its wonderful skyline and architecture |
 |
| Floor art using coloured sand... |
 |
| ...and a statue to the man who developed the local tradition, sometimes done in flower petals too. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2a9tyLj3cA |

Love it there too. x
"white powder puff", en français ce doit être une houppette, et c'est bien avec un "h" :)
