I totally agree; lavender and red valerian being two examples found in most places in the UK.

My days in Los Angeles were routinely hot but being dry heat, it was much nicer than warm-hot humidity here. What's your comfort threshold for...
Per last July, the jet stream has produced a sub-optimal summer here, to put it mildly. Déjà vu. Interestingly, all my Med plants are doing...
Dry heat, or humid, out of curiosity?
Wet. 17C. Same old, same old. Until the jet stream moves north of us, it'll be the case.Metcheck.com - Weather Forecast Discussions - Jet...
