Flores Córnicas :: Cornish Flowers






A Cornualha é menos fria do que as Midlands e a Primavera já chegou aos jardins e à beira das estradas: para além de campainhas de Inverno (mais altas e viçosas), vimos camélias e muitos tipos de narcisos já em flor. Gostei imenso da maneira como os córnicos plantam bolbos em cima de muros - tudo fica com um ar natural e centenário.

Cornwall is not as cold as the Midlands and Spring could already be seen in gardens and road verges: in addition to snowdrops (taller and lusher), we saw camellias and many varieties of narcissi in bloom. I loved the way Cornish people plant their bulbs on top of walls and fences - everything looks more natural and established that way.

  1. Concordo! O facto de haver flores em cima dos muros dá-lhes um ar antigo! Muito lindo!

    Muito bonitas! As camélias são lindíssimas e duram imenso tempo numa jarra.

  15. É de facto uma Inglaterra diferente, pelo menos também no tipo de arquitectura. Os Narcisos por cima dos muros, jamais imaginava ver tal efeito - Adorei!

  17. Olá Concha, adorei a parte das flores córnicas, a minha primeira questão foi que tipo de flores são essas? Depois de se ter feito luz na minha cabecinha, a coisa piorou ao pensar que os habitantes da Cornualha são os Córnicos...lol desde que eles não se apresentem como tal em Portugal, tudo bem. Por aqui as flores tardam, vi algumas snow drops, mas de resto os narcisos que irão aprecer lindissimos na beira da estrada, ainda estão a dormir.

  24. The smallest modern small bathroom sinks layout you can design and still handle an average size tub is five feet square. The sink in small bathroom designs can extend from the wall only 15 inches and the toilet only 27 inches.

    These sinks are beautifully finished on all sides, so that you have a variety of apron front installation options: flush mount undermount bathroom sink or raised sink.

    This provides the minimum space needed between the front of small sinks and the toilet. Nevertheless, the 5x5 small bathroom plan does not provide enough space in front of the tub for easy cleaning. The latest bathroom tiles design can make a room appear larger.

    Sink seamlessly blends superior functionality with a beautifully modern design. This porcelain bathroom sink under-mount sink makes an excellent addition to your bathroom decor.

    The double-bowl sink is made of a ceramic bathroom sink material that is easy to clean and resistant to stains, and the non-porous surface is easy to clean and safe for food, so you can rinse vegetables or fruits with confidence. Choose from three stylish color options to suit your home.
