Here you can read my previous post from the month of March: @bigorna1/top-ten-flower-power
this is likely the most important piece of technology on the farm. a flowering Olive tree. nothing comes even close to the amount of abundance these trees create year after year.
being so small and fragile, many of these flowers end up on the floor. the stronger the winds or rains, the more of them end up falling. and yet, there is always so many left that we are never short on Olives or oil.

a flowering Quince tree (Cydonia oblonga) buzzing with bees. coming close you can literally feel the beautiful vibration enveloping the entire tree as they work away.
Rock Rose (Helianthemum apenninum) with its characteristic wrinkled petals, with their burgundy spots that help home in the insects. it is medicinal and its leaves are sticky.
Yellow Broom (Cytisus striatus) starts flowering later then the White Broom, but for a few days, they coincide flowering together. very closely related. it is also one of our Nitrogen fixer pioneer plants.
our old Pear tree produces large fruit in abundance. often branches break off the tree due to the weight of so many pears. we can not have enough of them and they are great for drying too.
Blueberries (Vaccinium caesariense) have these delicate flowers that keep a promise that both us and the birds can´t wait for. the only way to actually even try any is to have it caged at this time.
I absolutely love the Sage (Salvia officinalis) flowers and so do the insects.
at the end of every day, I drink infusion made with its leaves.
the massive Elderberry (Sambucus) flowers make great refreshing Lemonades for the hot days ahead. its little berries make a very potent flu syrup.
one of our mighty oaks (Quercus pyrenaica) towering over the main entrance to the farm and currently in full flowering, attracting both birds and insects. one of the tallest trees on the farm. a native that we love so much and saw more of. (direct acorn sawing).
Brambles (a thornless variety of Rubus fruticosus) flowers in soft tones between white and pink and is delicious without the typical bloodbath involved in picking.
This Rose is on an adjacent terrain that is fairly abandoned. It flowers beautifully every year and this year, I finally managed to take some cuttings of it. so we will soon have these beauties growing here too.

I am daily making the change I want to see in the world.
