There are a few visiting yachts moored in Stari Grad harbour. However it is nowhere near the number normally seen at this time of year. Also there is not a single “superyacht” which is very unusual.
A walk in the Maquis, just as the sun breasts the ridge line is one of the pleasures of life in Dol
I have planted several varieties of Passion Flower, including this variety Rubra.
As I walk outside every morning in high summer, I am greeted by the heady scent of Jasmine.
I have Dragon Arum in flower at the moment. They look beautiful but smell dreadful!
The courtyard is almost finished! The stones sets need to be laid, and some paint will have to be applied to a wall, but the end in in sight…
The stands of Madnonna lilies are at their best this week. Soon they will die back, to reappear after the autumn rains arrive.
Every garden needs something a little different, spectacular even. If you can’t get a Triffid seed, then try and Echium “Blue Steeple”.
As someone pointed out last week, a weed is just a plant in the wrong place. Here I have some I am leaving to naturalise in their environment.
