I was back in Rosadillisk yesterday for the first time in two weeks, and the summer growth has finally taken off. This beautiful stretch of coast is home to a wonderful array of wild flowers. The latest to come into bloom is the kidney vetch, whose yellow flowers are attached to unusual fluffy structures, for all the world like cotton-wool balls! There are clumps of these clinging to the cliff-edge where they must be able to survive regular drenching with salty water.
