There were no Nerium oleanders which I associate with The Mediterranean and areas nearby. What a wonderful holiday Geranium.

No, I didn't spot any Oleanders in any of the gardens, Cherry, but there are several bordering the path by the
lake along from the hotel. They sold them in the little Garden Centre in the village, too. Yes, it had one to browse in - interesting to see what Italians can choose!

I liked these little Euphorbias.

Gentians, but we can buy those here.

I didn't think BA would let me take one of these on the plane!

What on earth is this? They also had orange trees, grapefruit and trees with those little orange fruits (sour!).

Available in very large pots! (Also very expensive.)

It is interesting to find out what the locals are buying. I looked up the citron steve. It must be one of the original lemons. Not so pretty.

They do like their statuary in that part of the world. it all looks very enticing.
	I'll get around to it eventually

Yes - I liked them too, SueA. There was a pot of them on each of the hotel tables by the lake. I haven't seen them in the UK - but I bet they're not hardy here!

I assume you can eat the Citron or use it in some way? The little sour orange things I couldn't think of are Kumquats, I think.
