When we were at Highgrove we saw the tiniest sweetpea flower I've ever
seen.
Neither of us knew what it was - it's a light blue, all one colour IIRC and
probably less than an inch across. At first glance we thought we'd seen a
tiny butterfly. Anyone know what it is?

Vetch? We have the tiniest blue butterflies living in a holly bush. Guess
what
they are called?

Tiny Blue? ;-)

Near but no prize. )

August GW offers 3 free/cheap plants for dry areas. No takers in Devon this
year?

Strangely enough, no. ;-)

We were irritated to get a letter suggesting that our subscription to GW
expires
soon. Expiry is actually December 2008. At least GW arrives at roughly the
same
time that it is on sale in UK, nowadays.

It is so humid here today you can almost swim in it.

It's been very hot here - 23C in Totnes this morning. But every so often it
clouds over and does a good imitation of weather trying to break up.
