Greenery invades and conquers. Knowing a place and its appearance well still means the change is dramatic.
Being in the middle of areas where greenery is repressed - on the adjoining treeless heather moors - contrives to make it more striking.
A long way below, on Strawberry Lane a bank was cleared and planted with gaudy flowering shrubs. Apparently the green of May was not enough. The hybrid rhododendron was criticised by some who felt it was not what that place needed. You can now see the display, just, from Blacka, in the middle of the picture.
