11th Annual General Meeting 2005
Carmona, Spain

Seville
Reales Alcazares


The Director of Reales Alcazares gave us a special viewing of the Medieval pool where the plaster has been remove to reveal brick arches in the sunken beds.


Jardin de las Floreas.


One of the many impressive flights of steps into the patios.


As visitors on a day when the gardens were properly closed to the public, we were able to enjoy the sight of the tall palms being pruned.


The combination of fertile soil, under ground water and sun in Seville result in over-sized specimens. Here a Thevetia the size of a tree.


From the trunk of this tree who would guess that it is a humble rubber plant?
