First sign of spring
Lovely sunny weather at the weekend, it was like spring. I wasn't at home to take advantage of it, though. I did manage to take a few cuttings of lemon thyme (Thymus citriodora) and noticed the first few Winter aconite flowers had opened (Eranthis hyemalis). They are weeds, really - slowly taking over many of the herbaceous beds and even popping up in the veg patch. Quite amused to see Scotsdales selling them for £2.99 each - my garden's supply must be worth over £30k at that price.
Anyway, here's a close up of a fully opened winter aconite.
