L/ABC Wednesday

LUNGWORT

LUNGWORT (aka pulmonaria or Bethlehem sage) is blooming in my gardens now. I love this plant that bears pink and blue flowers simultaneously. The blooms open pink and then turn blue.

I always thought "wort" was a yuckie name for a flower, but I have come to learn that many "worts" are princes in disguise!

It's beautiful! And to see anything blooming right now is beautiful to me. There are crocuses and daffodils blooming in some places in our little town, but no daffodils here yet.

Both are pretty photos, but I love the raindrops in the first one.

A colorful bouquet from a single stem makes this a pretty special flower and a lovely subject for the letter “L”. :)

Annie said...

Beautiful blossoms and your photos are great! Love the colors and the raindrops.
