Every time I arrive in beautiful Sardinia I know I am approaching a
real fruit paradise....and the fruit-junkie in me is very happy! And
could it get any better than this: the two places we have stayed this
year at had fruit trees growing in the garden: lemons, figs, apricots,
almonds, the pomegranates (currently in status blossom)....
Some of the
most exotic ones are the "corbezzolo" (en. strawberry tree) and the "ficchi d
India" (en. prickly pear) and last but not least the famous "mirto",
wild bush making dark purple berries from which the locals makes the
famous local liqueur "Mirto".... This year all around in the South was
also to be seen the white flower of the"carotta selvatica" (wild
carrot). The middle of the blossom has one black flower which from far
away looks like an insect having a break...So which are your favourite
fruits or which fruits grow right now in your garden/country? And as a
little treat you get this fantastic sunset in the laguna of Nora on the
last picture...
PS: most of the fruit trees pictures are taken in the garden of the lovely B&B Fiore next to Pula in the south of Sardinia. A very, very cozy place with warm hosts sharing their love&knowledge about the area!
