Flower Friday 26: Thyme

 
"For the summertime is coming
And the leaves are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Blows around the purple heather
 
Will you go, Lassie go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go, Lassie go?"
 
 Trad. The Wild Mountain Thyme

The thyme is blooming this morning, but it is only when you look you that you realise that what you had assumed were flower heads are actually lots of tiny little flowers - so here is just one of them, in splendid isolation.

My thoughts are with Biker Bear, our host for Flower Friday, whose Mum Alma is being cremated this morning.
