The picture I took this morning of the back garden doesn’t look hugely different from June’s image… until you start paying attention to the details. Some of the plants are looking quite autumnal already (the browning mop heads of the Euphorbia in the bottom right) but I’m excited to see some of the summer heat coming through in those dark red rudbeckia (centre). Another couple of weeks, already into August, and the hot display should be out.
