Maltese flowers

                    
It is the season when flowers abound all over the place. These are just three flowers that show up at this time of the year in Maltese gardens. The one above is also a wildflower which sprouts in abundance when it follows a rainy winter.

Vegetation in Malta is very scarce as countrysides are being gobbled up by high risers, buildings and skyscrapers. Even though the government tries to keep certain areas as green as possible, the megalomaniac developers are always eating up the little green areas we still treasure, and consider as gold. But at least some people who have front gardens and little yards in the back of their homes, plant such plants and they flower with a little water and ever-lasting botanical love and horticultural affection.
