DSC_0010Eranthis hyemalis- winter aconite

We had a good amount of rain over the weekend and the winter aconites, which I had given up ever seeing in the garden, revealed themselves. DSC_0013 They are a bit small but they are there in the only cleaned out garden  here at L & G.  I had expected to see them much earlier in the season and in other blogger's gardens they do seem to appear much earlier.  I have visions of them scattered in with the ScillaDsc_0012 (2) which is as blue as these are yellow.  I think they will look much better than they do with the white snowdrops.DSC_0023   I can envision planting scilla and aconites and having them bloom at different times in the future but that is what gardening is all about.  Planning and re-planning and watching the ever untameable Nature takes its' course.  I have to thank Kathy Purdy from Cold Climate Gardening for inspiring the planting of these little beauties.  I knew that if they grew in her frozen tundra I would have no problem with them.  The blogging community is one that inspires and informs and my garden is the richer for it. Thanks to all of you.
