Winterlinge (Eranthis hyemalis)

Spring is slowly coming,
the first spring flowers are already here.

We have a few different cultivars of the humble winter aconite that very observant folk have discovered in their gardens and other places over the years.

This is one of my favourites which was originally found by Erich Pohle who called it Grünspecht or Green Woodpecker in English.

The outer petals are streaked with a vibrant green whilst all the inner petals are pure gold.

Wonderful.

Gardening and observation go hand in hand.
