Oleander blooms on the Amalfi Coast

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Oleander

I love it when the oleander comes into full bloom on the Amalfi Coast. Many towns have planted oleander (Oleandro in Italian) along the side of the road or around town, and it grows very happily in the Mediterranean sun. I noticed the other day this beautiful oleander just outside the gate where I live. It had just reached its peak, and I knew the pink petals would soon be falling and blowing into our garden creating a carpet of pink. It will be until early summer next year before we get to enjoy this bright burst of pink welcoming us home.

    That is a gorgeous pink indeed! I have a white oleander tree in my front yard, think I can trade it in for a pink one somewhere? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I love oleander too and I have one blooming in a pot on my deck that I have to bring in during the winter. It reminds me of Italy every time I'm on the deck.

    The oleander is gorgeous! It really is all over, but that picture evokes memories of Ravello and Capri more than anything.

    Ciao Saretta! We have pink and white outside the gates and I love the two together. Maybe it's time to plant a pink one? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ciao Annika! Yes, there's a lot of oleander in Capri and Ravello and it reminds me of those two places, too!

    Ciao Linda! They are blooming at different rates here on the Amalfi Coast, but the ones just outside our gate are just past peak. I'll miss the colors when they're gone… until next year!

    Ciao Chuck! It is definitely worth the wait! ๐Ÿ™‚

Whatโ€™s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! ๐Ÿˆ
