I've been monitoring - to use a massively overly scientific term - the aconite in Friary Gardens ever since the first little yellow bobbins appeared at the end of December, and they are now at their peak.
Same as I do every year!
They inhabit the old earthwork that formed the town's old boundary once upon a time, nestled under the trees.
I believe they have some kind of church related nickname that escapes me at the moment; to me they are like little blond choristers in a green robe, especially before the flowers open up.
Probably heretical to say it, but I like them more than snowdrops...there, you can stop following me now!
