I know how to reconize a friend Emma,it's one of the good things of having my age:)
Thank you for the honor Antonio!
@Karen my friend thanks for one more id,i'am giving you a lot of work whith my almost unknowed spottings:) @Thanks Yogesh to @Emma,not exactly:)mean's great friend(biggest old friend,blood brothers:)that was what my brother told me,but asergio can confirm if it's that what is the mean because sometimes there are variations in the precise sense of the words,it's a very nice complement he make me that i return to him and by the way,i call you to Xára Emma:)
Antonio,Does Xara mean Shiny?
@Emma it's lovely the way this people care about the outside houses,this leaves are beautiful,very strong structure and a deep green that take us to tropical feeling. @asergio,tem bastantes jardins publicos eu tenho spots de pelo menos 2 ou 3 jardins, o da cordoaria,o da boavista e o mais espectacular o do centro de arte moderna de serralves e em ruas tb temos muitas árvores e ajardinamentos,tens que dar uma volta pelos meus spots e encontras bué de jardins privados e publicos :) yes there are many public gardens and street gardens in porto it's not a "green" city but there a costume of every body having plants in there homes and in the public places they some times exagerate and the water to mantain the gardens in the summer is in the south a heavy problem yes
Que bela casa, tão rica. A cidade do Porto tem jardins públicos? Em praças, por exemplo? What a beautiful, rich house. Does Porto City have public gardens? In squares, for example?
Rubber plants have one of the most beautiful leaves!
I like the pot arrangement on every stair!
