Cooler weather but still brilliantly sunny, norms for the time of year are 16C/3C, the forecast is for somewhat colder at the top end, and still not rain.
Farewell to the beautiful Moth Orchid, which is totally dead; and to the Corsican Mint – don’t know what killed that off.
Welcome to: Variagated Aubrieta; both the Jacob’s Ladders (this is the new one which arrived in bloom); Tulip Ballerina, lily-shaped and a rich burnt orange; the lovely Cowslips.
