  4. Não conheço as videiras ciprestes e não sei se existem ou não em Portugal.
    As flores são lindas e coloridas e isso atrai os beija-flores.
    Hugs.

  8. I didn't know the cypress vine, it sounds like an important plant.
    Here we have the beautiful cypress tree. If you have time have a look at the famous "cipressi bolgheri".
