Lovely images! Is this the same as Montbretia – a popular splash of colour on the island and throughout West Cork in the summer months.

  It sounds beautiful! Most of our wildflowers wrap up in the spring, because our summers are so dry.

Lovely. Thanks, Tim. I saw Punctatum in bloom yesterday in Lenoir, NC–the foothills near Blowing Rock. Here’s a link: http://www.grandfather.com/plan-your-visit/events/wildflower-bloom-calendar/may/punctatum/
