Early morning visitor: lacewing. We welcome the lacewing because it plays an important role in the control of the olive fly, a fly that can cause problems for the olive growers like us.
St John's wort, Hypericum perforatum, is another medicinal herb growing wild in the region and flowering June-July.
Externally used as inflammatory, suitable for burns, wounds and joint problems.
Taken internally it helps with depression, anxiety and sleeping disorder.
'Immortelles' in Latin Helicrysum (Golden Sun), a medicinal herb growing wild here in our region and in full flower this time of the year. The essential oil of the immortelles flowers has multiple health benifits like anti-hematic, anti-inflammatory, cicatrisante etc... it can be used in the kitchen to add curry flavour to dishes.

Lynn Jaye is an award-winning artist, born and raised in London, England. After studying painting and drawing at three major art schools, she embarked on a seven-year journey around the world.
Arriving in California in 1981, the natural beauty of the coastline persuaded her to settle in the Santa Cruz area. She has painted in watercolor and acrylic but now prefers to work in oils, capturing beautiful views in a neo-impressionist style.
Jaye participates in many juried art festivals in the San Francisco Bay Area and teaches at Matisse and Merlot Painting Parties. Her colorful paintings of local scenery, vineyards, coastlines and flowers can be viewed online at www.lynnjaye.com
