5 Places to Visit to See Beautiful Winter Flowers

Do you have spring fever, love stunning flower photos, morning walks & beautiful flowers or ready for a California super bloom?  On this Valentines day, I picked my own wild flowers as I often do on my weight loss journey daily walks. We often do a beach picnic to celebrate as that is what we did on our first date, but we will do diet style chocolate dipped strawberries for me, his fave Lanarca bakery dessert and romantic movies. One of the advantages of being slow travel digital nomads is we can do winter in warm places so I enjoy my flowers and walks all year round. Spain, California, Cyprus, Mexico, Arizona, tropical Asia, , Australia and more all fit this criteria. Happy Spring! Happy Valentine's Day! 

 5 Places to Visit to See Beautiful Winter Flowers
Recently a long time world traveling/worldschooling friend of mine who is living in Mexico but thinking about moving to Spain or southern France said that she must have a place where Bougainvillea grow and I thoroughly agree! This photo was taken in January in Barcelona, but our home in Santa Cruz also had a huge Bougainvillea plant on our arbor,

and we love it here in Cyprus, and in all the places mentioned above. If and when we buy a home in Spain, it will definitely have Bougainvillea!

Anther must is hibiscus thriving in winter! I don't know why but both of these flowers make me so happy every time I see them.

Of course,  roses fit this category as well like this one I just took a photo of on my beach walk here in Cyprus.

The Angels Trumpet ( Brugmansia) is another favorite with huge, fragrant flowers hanging from a small tree, it is a spectacular exotic plant common in the tropics, but also in Med areas like LA, Spain and Cyprus.

Orange, Lemon and Lime harvest in winter are not flowers, but they also make me happy always to see and sometimes pick to eat!

Sunsets and wild flowers are an unbeatable combo like these I picked in Croatia in late fall. 

Fresh picked wild flowers
I  love picking wild flowers that I discover on my walks and I can make vases out of anything like these purple wild flowers from Cyprus in our airbnb home today and I made the vase from a used spice container.

The flowers do not have to be fancy to make me happy, almost any will do like these sweet yellow ones that were scattered all over the park in Larnaca at the salt lake where the flamencos winter. 

What are your favorite flowers and where do you like to see them?
