Immaculate presentation as always in the garden, always a pleasure to visit
In this prolonged drought, intense heat & hose pipe bans,it might be time to reassess what plants are still making the cut. A favourite is Euphorbia characias wulfenii, seen here with its lime green fronds unfurling in Spring, great structural plant. #drought #heatwave #drygarden

Long before Christianity reached Ireland, people marked the Winter Solstice (Grianstad an Gheimhridh) as a celebration of the sun’s return. It was a deeply meaningful time of year, especially at places like Newgrange in County Meath. There, the rising sun on the solstice shines directly into the heart of the ancient monument, lighting up its inner chamber.
