The Green Place

Star of Bethlehem ?

Glorious weather again today. Belgium feels more like California. Far too warm for March. Hundreds of students were sitting on the grass at the end of the lake drinking beer as though it was May instead of March.

I'm not much of a botanist but these small white flowers were carpeting the floor of the Bois de Lauzelle as I passed by on my end afternoon run. A quick search on the Internet led me to conclude that they were Star of Bethlehem, but I'm happy to be proved wrong and given the right name.

(Stop press: turns out that they are wood anemone )

Some other photos from the run (which became a bit fragmented from stopping to blip) are here: Bois de Lauzelle
