Strawberry tree é o inglês para medronheiro, EdvonEms, mas obrigado pela ID.
You are absolutely right, Behn, thanks very much! :)
Looks very much like Arbutus unedo, the Strawberry tree.
Thanks! I love the photo, but I've got no idea what the plant is. It's wild as well and grew to a couple of metres in height.
Beautiful photo of these delicate flowers!
