Mimosa or What?
It’s getting hot here in Malta now and most flowers fades away and thus all its colors, except this one. The mimosa trees bloomed here in Malta in April and these really look like mimosa but… …I really can’t recognize their long sharp thorns.Whatever it is, they give a lovely splash of color in nature,…

Welcome to The Forest

Wild White Beauty
This is one of all the wild flowers found here on the island right now. Soon the summer heat will come and most plants will dry out while the Mediterranean will be warmer and maybe, wishful thinking, our everyday life will return to being the way it once was, and we’re back to normal.
