Not really very pretty - I know - but this was taken on November 30th!
There's not much color blooming around here right now so I take what I can
get.

I went out this morning (felt energetic for the first day in weeks but it's
been a difficult time) and saw delphinium blossom, bluebells sprouting,
calendula flowering its heart out and globe thistles (echinops) doing the
same.

Delphinium???
