In Praise of the Aconite.

Every year at this time I am always in awe of clumps of Winter Aconite (Eranthus).
A little ray of sunshine

 

They look lovely with the sunshine and snow on them, roders ... unfortunately not something I can enjoy here so thank you for sharing yours. :luv:

 

Aren`t they brave little soldiers! I love that kind of attitude-"it`s cold but scr3w it! I`m here and I`m loud and I`m proud".

Little belters.

 

:D Lovely comment Claire

 

Soon as I read the title I was expecting something like "Finally got rid of the in-laws..." :P

 

lovely photos and thanks for sharing.

 

Beautiful, roders! Didn't you share them with us last year, too?

I didn't have luck when I tried to grow them years ago, I think I should have another go as they are so cheery looking, like little suns.

 

Beautiful. I'm sure I can find a space for them in the garden too

 

Lovely photos - and I share your love of winter aconite. Mine are spreading quite nicely - and seem, like snowdrops to shrug off the ++++ snow we have had. The first yellar flowers of the year - and such pretty globes, with their ruff of green.

 

I planted 200 of these this past fall. Been wanting to, but just did not get there. They are in the front slop area of the property. Have not come up yet. Looking forward to them, and spreading.
Have some purple strip crocus on the other slope that have spread nicely over this past 16 years of being there. The contrast will be nice.

 

Loverly photos Roders a real breath of fresh air and colour to brighten up our winter days.Thanks for sharing you little flowers with us all

 

Lovely show roders...Over the years I have planted hundreds but only get a few each year....:dh:...At least it's a sign of things to come:thmb:
