Orange blossom, rose, geranium, rockrose August is a glorious month – achingly hot in the day, then clouds can bubble up late in the afternoon to create blazing sunsets that are like works of art. In the warm evenings, all the heady scents of our garden rise up to perfume the air: orange flower, rose and geranium mingle with rockrose and fennel; a perfect frame to the painting in the sky.
