Flowering herbs.

I hope you're not fed up with flower pictures yet as here are a few more....

The wild thyme grows everywhere that you'd think not much would survive,  like on this dry rocky side of the path - and although we have got some in the garden,  it doesn't do as well as this is.


We also have lots of sage bushes in the garden and it's all in bloom now,  also there are a lot of  Jerusalem sage plants growing wild and although the leaves seem identical,  they don't have anywhere near the flavour,  in fact I'm not sure they have any smell or taste at all and the flowers are really different.  Extremely pretty though.


There is a sage bush in here, honestly!  It's just mingled in with sweet peas,  geraniums and pelargoniums. 

Also blooming is the wild garlic,   a lot of it starts off quite a strong pink colour but as the flowers open bigger the colour fades to white.




And finally another tassel hyacinth,   this one was just catching the early morning sunshine.
