Eranthis 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. 
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 Scilla
which is as blue as these are yellow. I think they will look much better than they do with the white snowdrops.
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.
