So. About seven Winter Aconites seem to have made it again and are in flower today. The buds were visible from late February but we had quite a few miserable days which stopped them opening but today is nice and they're doing well in the sunshine.

I really like these flowers because, although they look pretty much like buttercups, they should flower in January as a routine, alongside the Snowdrops.

The ones I've planted flower, consistently, in late February when the Snowdrops are going over and the Tete a tete Daffodils are in full bloom.

This is the second year of Aconite survival and I'm hoping that they eventually come to flower at the same time as the wild ones out and about.

We'll see.
