Winter Aconite





The Eranthis have been blooming for a couple of weeks now probably because we've had such a mild winter - - so far. They are tough - can survive the dogs running over them. On a sunny day, even a cold sunny day, they open up. Today is a normal cloudy Michigan day so they are closed. Insects, like the wild species bees, can be seen visiting them even when it's cold as long as the sun is out.
