Winter Aconite
The first flower of spring! It's so exciting to see the Winter Aconite blooming in the woods behind my house again! After a long cold winter, the pretty yellow flowers are so welcomed! This year they started blooming on March 17th. Winter Aconite is in the Buttercup family and is native to Europe but has naturalized in woodland areas of the U.S. I've read it can be difficult to start in the landscape, but for best results start from seed. I'm pretty sure this patch is a wild one. I love it!

I love how everything is a dead grey color, except for that beautiful burst! Cool! Love you B.
