I'm very happy to say that two kinds of thyme I bought are doing great. Neither one of them looked very happy this spring, but they are certainly healthy now. I'm pretty sure both are larger than last year.
This one is 'Sparkling Bright.' It's blooming with a very light purple flower if you can tell.
I split off a little piece to transplant last year. It's very tiny, but still alive.
The other one is 'Archer's Gold.' It always looks sunny and bright.
I got a patch of common creeping thyme for free way back when I was just starting this rock garden. I mostly missed its blooming this year, but it's pretty for its brief flowering time. Mostly, you have to rip it out or it takes over, but it's easy to rip.
I used to have a wooly thyme that I liked. It was softly hairy and a blueish-green. It was also pretty invasive, and I'm surprised none survived the long period of neglect. Apparently I have no pictures of it. Phooey. I'll just have to get more, right?
Today turned out to be a rest day. It would have been a great day to work in the gardens, or any number of other tasks. There was an NCT Chapter hike this morning, and I forgot all about it. I must be brain dead. I worked on a couple of projects, but not with any discipline. I just puttered. I think I needed that.
