Winter aconite

For so long now I have been waiting for spring to arrive…and it is finally here! The flowers of the winter aconite are beaming at me like yellow rays of sunshine. Yellow, the color of spring! Continuing the yellow theme are the Eurasian siskin, drinking and bathing at the edge of the pond. And as far as yellow flowers go, the Lesser celandine (also known as pilewort) fits right in as well! Some people think a perfect lawn is green, but I don’t mind mine being littered with yellow.
