I would have loved to have listened to the lecture, it sounds so interesting. We've been on a couple of eco walks organised by the Ajuntament, with someone explaining the purpose and properties of individual species of plants native to this region, which was very informative.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430236104525571846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-58615252771039787672011-02-16T16:17:49.444+01:002011-02-16T16:17:49.444+01:00What a fascinating lecture.

It's interesting how some of those associations have been transplanted here to the States, such as cypresses and cemetaries, although I've not noticed cypresses at crossroads.
