The wild garlic is everywhere now
There were plenty of birds in the Dells today, though none stopped for their photo apart from these lovely 7 spot ladybirds nestling in the moss

The Dells are Green with Wild Garlic
I walked through the Dells along the Water of Leith today for my weekly voluntary work with Water of Leith Conservation Trust.
The wild garlic is everywhere now
that's all wild garlic on the far river bank above and below is how it looks closer up
some if it is even starting to bloom
and the butterbur is in bloom, it's name comes from the fact that its leaves (which don't come out fully yet) used to be used to wrap butter
The larch flowers continue to look beautiful
While we were visiting Ben Lomond the other day (see this blog post) Crafty Green Boyfriend took this photo of a larch tree with pale flowers

It is lovely seeing spring, even if it is elsewhere! We have sleety rain today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Can you eat the wild garlic?
ReplyDeleteHere in Savannah, the azaleas are about done--we're moving into summer (but last week I was in Northern New Mexico where the temperatures dropped below freezing at night).

Hi Jenn, we had lots of sleety rain over the weekend....
ReplyDeleteJeff - yes you can eat wild garlic, it makes a delicious pesto!
On with Spring!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photographs, I didn't know until recently that Butterbur may be used as a remedy for headaches and inflammation ...
