The grape pictures above are some I took on April 25, 2009. That was a beautiful spring. This year on the same date there are few if any grapes at this stage of growth. I hope the grapes will appear and thrive in May 2025, for the sake of the local grape-growers and economy.
I haven't seen very many of these wild orchid plants around the vineyard yet this year. Maybe more will come up in May. I took these photos on April 30, 2009. You can enlarge them by tapping or clicking them. Here's a link to the Wikipedia article about them.
I think that your blog is the first place that I ever saw wild orchids.
ReplyDeleteHoping for the ground to dry out and some normal weather there. I love those orchids.
