Spectacles of wild and independent bright flowers are a feature of June. Most are white or cream. Rowan and Hawthorn dominate well after Blackthorn has left the stage. Cow Parsley adorns the path edges, sometimes substituted by Sanicle.
A later comer is Elder, perfectly-timed for enterprising folk to make the very best thirst-quenching cordial. Nothing goes down better than this honeyed drink, home-made and quaffed in a hot garden in mid June. Wild honeysuckle itself is also decorating the woodlands at the moment,
its creamy yellow seeming a natural progression in the flowering sequence.
