July 17-18 First taste of summer flowers

The flowers were beautiful and reminiscent of those we had seen in Scotland and Ireland in 2018. Here’s a selection of the beauties that caught my eye. The fragrance was delicious from the spicy smell of wild camomile to the lavender notes of a tall herb. Quite intoxicating!
