Michele and Ireland nature lovers: Is the Burren in County Clare worth a visit in September? Is anything still blooming in September on The Burren?
Our first visit to Ireland was in late June... The Burren was fascinating and flowers were blooming in the cracks of the rocks. My biologist husband loved it. Is anything blooming there in September?
Is there a limit on how many questions one person is allowed to ask??
As you know spring and summer are much better for blooming flowers. Although when I visit Irish gardens in fall there are certain things still blooming and berries coming to fruit. I suppose it very much depends on how the summer went. But the Burren has a rather upside down environment and farmers put animals out to pasture on the hills in winter. So things are growing but maybe not the flowers you saw in June.
