By Danielcarruthers

We may have been in the wrong places at the wrong times, and we didn’t have a local botanist guiding our walks, but we didn’t see carpets of wildflowers anywhere on our travels. I found I really needed to keep my eyes peeled to spot the tiny lilies, orchids and other yet-to-be identified flowers, although the flowering shrubs were generally much more evident.
