Wordless Friday: Sardinian colours, textures and inspirations!

I hope you will forgive me if, for once, I move the Wordless day post to Friday... 

Since the last post my 'Designer-life' has been a succession of drawings, visits, meetings, talks... 

So much work folks, but soo rewarding!

In all of this, I somehow managed to spend few days in Sardinia, from where my inspiration often come from. These time I did not observe costal landscapes and turquoise waters, but the suburb wildnerness that frame Cagliari, the chief town. I hope you will enjoy its colours and textures as much as I did!

(P.S. Please feel free to Pin and to Leave a Comment! I love reading them!)

{Rusted, Old Gate. A new one woudn't be as charming!}

{An Opuntia and an Asteracea - A Soft/Thorny suggestive combination}

{Wild Cerinthe major - YES, in Sardinia they are already out and YELLOW!}

{An old Fiat 500, an Opuntia and local reed Fence. That's Barraccamanna!}

{One of the many wild cenosis. Simply perfect!}

Thanks for stopping by!

I look forward hearing from you!

'The Devil's Saddle' - an amazing spot of Sardinia!

Welcome back at Mercurelli's! :)

I hope you have kept yourself wrapped and warm during these last days!

Has the weather affected your gardening plans? Or has it give you extra time to re-think and plan your garden? New orders and purchases? I did not resist and I acquired three new amazing plants at the latest RHS Great London Show...

{one of the plants acquired during the latest RHS London Show...can you name it?}

but before tell you more about them, let me share with you where I spent part of the past week:

I was back in the amazing Sardinia and I treated myself with an excursion at 'La Sella del Diavolo - The Devil Saddle', one of my favourite destinations ovelooking the 'Golfo degli Angeli - Gulf of Algels' {we can easily guess why it is so called!}

  I was used to 'escape' in this little corner of Paradise since I was a student in Bioecology... and I still love to come here when looking for relax, inspiration... or simply an extra-supply of Sardinian sun to better cope with the British weather! :)

Click on the images to see them enlarged...and have a look at these amazing natural combinations!

I hope you enjoyed this little peek in one of the most Biodiverse spot of Cagliari, my birthtown.

Stay tuned! RHS Great London Show posts and a little surprise are coming! ;)

Bisous,
