Glimpses of green


To celebrate St Patrick's Day today  in Chicago, the river was dyed green - very green!  (This is not my photo of course, it is borrowed from the web - mstarz.com).


Here we are grateful for the little spikes of green pushing up through the mulch of dead leaves.  In the sunshine today these tiny flowers looked very beautiful..


Quite how they cope with the changing temperatures I just don't know.  Today the temperature rose to 22C during the day -  which seems warm to have snowdrops and early Spring flowers out.  Tonight it will drop to -2C.

On Friday we are forecast to have some snow, so then this little flower will be aptly named..

  2. Well I think/hope it is a Winter Aconite - otherwise it may not be very apt!
