Display Number 1: The Smouldering Spanish Look.
 |
| This is how the streets in the village of Sitges is made memorable for me. One snapshot for my album! |
Display Number 2: The Charming Geranium-Balcony Look.
 |
| This typically Mediterranean balcony window display is THE essential Mediterranean icon. In every village, town or city- even in shop windows, the lovely terracotta pots with their geraniums made me yearn to transform one part of my own garden into that LOOK! Display Number 3: Proud Petunias on the Wall Look.  Where else but in the Mediterranean would you find displays of petunias in such a rustic setting as this? This snapshot is one of my favourites - taken in the town of Valdemossa, these were on the wall outside a souvenir shop in a quaint narrow street. It was along this street that we had the best hot chocolate - thick and heavenly sweet - so much appreciated on that chilly spring day. Another snapshot that brings back fond memories for me. Display Number 4: Rambling Roses On Moss-covered Wall Look  This makes me think I've travelled back in time and I expect to see Don Quixote de la Mancha walk down the steps beside where the roses are clinging to the wall, saying to me, 'Welcome to my hacienda, Senorita Rosie". I hope these snapshots from my album bring some kind of nostalgic associations of the Mediterranean to you as well. See more Today's Flowers at the TF Team's Blog.

@ Modern Mom - Hi, thanks.
@ chubskulit - Thanks for dropping in.
@ lotusleaf - Thanks for leaving a comment.
@ kanak7 - Glad you like my photos.
@ Malar - I feel like doing that- a mediterranean balcony - but you know how our Malaysian sun is soooo hot. The poor geraniums will just disintegrate.
@ gardenwalkgardentalk.com - I really should go ahead and try to have this look for my balcony, but the other problem, apart from the sun, is that I haven't been able to buy any geraniums from the nurseries lately.
@ Wendy - don't you want one for your home?
@ p3chandan - Your comment just made my day - I am so touched.
@ One -And your comment just made me smile...I love your style!
