To get away from this dreary nasty German winter weather, let's take a trip back to a garden that I visited last June: the Real Jardin Botanico de Madrid.
It is a beautifully maintained scientific garden in the middle of the city next to the Prado and the much larger Retiro Park.
A very good selection of huge trees and shaded areas give respite from the Spanish midday heat.
Sometimes the labelling could be a improved. Who might you be?

my old favourite: Romneya coulteri in flower
Kniphofia "Amsterdam" , a very good colour, that does not grow in Germany.

Curious parakeet couples in a huge communal nest at the entrance to the Botanic garden.
