At the top of the hill above the gardens there is a capitelle, where the shepherds and and goatherds would have sheltered from the sun or rain, depending on the season. Tumbling stone now, but still a shelter with a view!
Au sommet de la colline au-dessus des jardins il y a une capitelle, où les bergers et chevriers prennaient l'abri du soleil ou de la pluie, selon la saison. Les murs tombent maintenant, mais ça reste un abri avec une belle vue.
Between the capitelle and the garden we found these flowers. Please let me know in a comment if our identification of them is wrong, as we're not sure of all of them.
Entre la capitelle et le jardin on a trouvé cettes fleurs.
 Pistacia lentiscus - lentisc |  Lathyrus cicera - chickling vetch |
 Linum bienne - pale flax |  Tragopogon porrifolius - salsify |
 Ginesta hirsuta - broom |  |
We think the branches in the background are young lentisc. In the foreground are spikes of Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) about to flower.
In the garden, for me it's the start of summer when the tomato canes go up. / Et dans le jardin il me semble que l'été commence quand les cannes sont là pour les tomates.

Lovely pictures of wild flowers, in fact I've saved some of them to help me identify ours!
It's time for me to get my tomato bed ready, but today is too too hot.
Lovely wild flowers! And what a grand view the shepherds had.
Beautiful picures of the wild flowers!
