As spring breaks, birds and bees lay claim to the generously blossoming cherry, wild and local favourite, mirabelle plum trees, apple and pear blossoms in the area. In high spring, grassy verges are streaked purple with viper&#8217;s buglos, vetches and orchid. In summer yellow broome and evening primrose spread their seeds and flowers freely. In a seasonal weft and weave, country gardens are generously carpeted with crocus, wisteria, sedum, lavender, myrtle, a selection of berries and rose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Predominantly warm and wet conditions favour plentiful flowering from mature lime trees (producing a light and distinctly fruity flavoured honey) and darker, wonderfully distinctive tawny honey from the sweet chestnut forests of the region in June.
