The enormous Echium in the front garden is still flowering two months on from the last time I wrote about it (11th. May). Most of the thousands of tiny flowers have gone to seed but there are still enough to attract a constant coming and going of honey bees.
 I'm happy to say it became something of a local sensation with many passers by stopping to look at it and quite a few people made a point of coming to see it when word got around!
