The black flies do not seem to be making much progress at all. Maybe they can't cope with the heat, despite the shade in this part of the garden for quite large parts of the day.
While I learn from wikipedia at reference 1, that the knapweeds are part of the aster family and are related to the cornflowers which are the stars of the episode of Miss. Marple called 'Sleeping Murder'. The penultimate Marple story in order of writing, the last Marple story in order of publication. At the time of writing, the manuscript was gifted to her husband and placed in a bank vault for safe keeping, this being London during the blitz phase of the second world war.
