Lovely natural place Stephen looks like its really off the grid Ur knowledge on plants astounds me each time loved the video ! The azores r amazingly natural u must have loved it!! Happy gardening 👍🌸🐝
I am particularly enthusiastic about Macronesian flora and enjoyed watching your video. I have a few species growing here in western UK, including Vaccinium cylindraceum, Euphorbia mellifera, Geranium palmatum, Geranium madarense, and Melanoselinum decipiens. The Azores endemic plants (and Macronesian plants in general) in particular seem to love our cool, humid climate here in the west of British Isles, and as such do tend to escape out of cultivation into the wild, particularly Euphorbia mellifera and Melanoselinum decipiens .
Re: Ranunculus cortusiifolius, we grow this very successfully here in San Francisco Bay area. While it may be endemic to very moist areas, it is more than happy to go summer dormant, much like Ranunculus persica. It's self-seeds modestly and increases in size over the years; very long lived. And while it can be kept in foliage with summer water, there really is no need. Resprouts with the winter rains, usually November time frame and blooms for a good 6 - 8 weeks in April-May time frame. If you can find it, it is definitely worth a try. Thanks for the videos; always a great watch.
I have that ranunculus in my Southern California garden. Blooms in Spring and early summer, then dies down, only to reemerge in late winter/early spring.
Great video, I've wondered about going. Did you not come across Euphorbia stygiana subsp. santamariae? I think rare but still can be found. It's available from a few specialist nurseries in Britain.
Apart from my relationship with God, your Friday video is a highlight of the day. I enjoyed seeing all the blue foliage plants in your video last week. No film of the Hydrangea growing everywhere?
As pretty as they Hydrangeas on the Azores are they are also a pest species and I should have mentioned them as they are spectacular none the less. Regards Stephen
Another wonderful trip without leaving the kitchen. Great stuff.
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos another great one!
Thanks for the thumbs up. Regards Stephen

I'm not surprised considering the climate in the area. Regards Stephen

I find our summers and hydrophobic soils too much for this plant but I’m glad it does well for you. Regards Stephen
Im loving your vidoes, and doing alot of catch up on youtube of your videos, from Binnaway NSW
Glad you are enjoying them. Regards Stephen

Glad to see it is at home with you. Regards Stephen

No we didn't find that one but perhaps when I take another tour back there in 2026 I make an extra effort to find it. Regards Stephen
