Thyme Flowers


Common Names: Thyme, Common Thyme
Species: Thymus vulgaris
Family: LAMIACEAE

Thyme is a versatile and healthy herb the leaves of which can be added to many dishes. The thyme in the garden was flowering so I decided to take this snapshot, the flowers are a little soft focus-wise but I kind of like the effect. This photo was taken from an upright form of thyme which I think may be a cultivar of French thyme although I can't be certain as again, this was grown from an unmarked mixed punnet of herb seedlings.
