I could well have called this Top Specimen? I have one that I was gifted but it’s now looking a shadow of its former self. I have high hopes for mine’s recovery, one of these days, but if it ever looks like this I’ll be thrilled. Meanwhile, in Praca Dr. António Padinha in Tavira, there is a wonderful old building. Yes, it’s one of many that need renovation, but if you have a few pennies to spare? Top project! The location is perfect.
Absolutely perfect shot.. amazing..

Love those balconies! If only I had the money to restore a grand old building like this. As for Poinsettias, they are only good as trees, I loathe the pot plants sold at Christmas. I hope yours bucks up! Maybe give it a good talking to!

I do sweet talk it. I’m never harsh with my plants. Why have you got a down on the Christmas ones? They are one of the nicer extravagances of the festive season. 🤔💕

Because they are trees, not pot plants and often covered in glitter! Sometimes you have to be firm with plants or they take advantage 🙃

Glitter???? I don’t know where you shop! 🙂 🙂 And Mick calls me the hatchet lady so I don’t think that’s the problem.

Lovely building, and lovely flower. I don’t have much success with poinsettias, so I have decided just to admire them from afar. 😀

Normally we’ve just bought them as a Christmas plant and said farewell when they wilted, but they grow here as a small tree, and I’m desperate for ours to thrive. I’ll go and talk to it 🙂 🙂

I doubt your pockets are deep enough for this one, John. 🙂 🙂 Mine certainly aren’t…

Is that building for sale? I would love to buy some old abandoned mansion somewhere and restore it. I’d need the money but…
