Nice pics Charlie. I particularly like the iffy looking bridge, I could have
fun trying to coax SWMBO over that :-))

I wish I could help with the IDs, but unfortunately not. Some friends went
there recently, and I must put it on my list of places to go.

I think thats the oddest thing about the place, Liz is terrified of
heights and will not even drive on the nearside lanes on bridges, I am
not keen above a ladders length either, yet we find we can thread our way
along paths with very steep drops, must be the vegetation or something.
Of course you always have plan B for the tricky bits (not yet resorted
to) of taking off shoes and socks and walking down the lavada itself!

Lovely photos, Charlie but I do admit you're far more energetic than we were
when we were there! ;-)

Good photos Charlie.
I was interested to see the flowers on the Kapok tree. When I was
there a few years ago at the end of Feb, the Kapok was blowing all
over the park. Flowers much better!
There were no agapanthus flowers also, but I did manage to salvage a
few seeds, which have grown quite well.
I'd like to go again at a more floriferous time of year.
Where do you stay? In Funchal?

Superb. In the Malakof garden, what is the ground made of? So strange
the way the hedges are like 'placed' on the ground. Amazing meticulous
job!

Looked to me as if the actual ground was made up by a retaining wall then
back filled to get it level, amazing views from there. The bit you walk
on is made of small pieces of basalt rock rather like a mosaic in all one
colour!

Lovely - I'm collecting examples of surfaces and textures - this is
quite amazing and I don't know much about Madeira. Thank you for
sharing these. Could I use this photo - not for publication. Yet ;o)

Yes, its not very clear, but then I was not photographing the stones!!
They use a lot of these small round basalt pebbles in there paths, they
look fab but are leathal when wet.
