OK, the last of my winter travels

     The last of my six winter foreign trips was to the Caucasus.  Now it's time for my summer garden work.
     The first two photos are of a pretty plant in Baku, Azerbaijan.  I'd appreciate knowing its name.
     The next is a great hedge in an 1800s private garden near Telavi, Georgia.  Nearby was a monastery with the most unusual olive tree I ever saw.
     Poppies are everywhere in Armenia.
     The last four were in Tbilisi, Georgia, first the new cathedral, then, I was told, a new species of a tree--Treeitis ferrousiana.  Maybe someone was pulling my leg.
    
    

    

More of beautiful Tunisia

     Here is round two of my Tunisia trip, all photos from the north part of the country, near the Mediterranean Sea.
     The first two photos show rape (the source of canola oil) with its beautiful yellow flowers, once near fields of winter wheat and once in a group of olive trees.
     The next two photos show more olive trees, a common sight in Tunisia.
     The last three photos were taken amongst the ruins of ancient Carthage.  I found this beautiful plant with yellow flowers.  I have not been able to identify it, so if anyone knows what it is, I would appreciate having its name.
