Dubai flowers in winter

Well we're back from a winter in Dubai and I thought I'd share some of the (millions) of photos I took. Before we went I was thinking a lot about what I'd be able to grow given how different the climate is to here, and whilst I didn't get round to growing much other than tomatoes and a few other bits of veg as we had to come back, I did spend lots and lots of time admiring the flowers everywhere so thought i'd pop up a little post to remind myself of how it was all looking in winter/ very early spring and with a view to hopefully comparing it if we manage to get back for their late summer/ start of autumn.
