May in beautiful Central Portugal

May has to be my favourite month of the year here. Everything is lush and green and the wild flowers are amazing.
 
The few garden areas we have built come to life with wonderful colour and scent.


 Peony Duchesse de Nemours, Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus and Iris germanica
Along with the lovely gardens and wildflowers the grass is growing by the minute! It's this time of year we really struggle to keep up with the land- strimming and mowing, weeding and watering!
The thunderbirds house is blending in nicely to the landscape now!

Lovely gardens Shell. I do love May too and this year the extra rain early in the year seems to have paid dividends.
