I was at daughter L's house and pulled this plant out of some decorative stones. It smelled good and so I used Google lens to identify it. Turns out it is thyme! So I planted it and hopefully it does well. It is a perennial so can live over winter. L must have more of these plants in her backyard growing legitimately.
Thyme is wonderful and the bees and butterflies love the flowers. It gets rather woody after a while, so should be pruned to keep it in good heart.
ReplyDeleteLooks very different from the thyme I get over here..
ReplyDeleteWow, what a surprise! Our Basil has been beautiful this year. We have dried a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful find! So great. You'll have to check out her back yard.

Fantastic find. My most favourite herb. They are very hardy too. I am sure you already know this, make sure to prune it if you have the woody kind.
