Asparagus

Conditions here might well favour the co-evolution of plants which flower at different times, so that the pollinating insects get a steady supply of food – it certainly seems that there is always something flowering in the garden; when the Aeonium blooms start to fade these attractive white flowers appear. Two native species of the asparagus family are present in the garden. Asparagus nesiotes (below) is very well established. Asparagus arborescens, though less delicate in appearance, doesn’t seem to grow as vigorously.
