Thyme, English (common)

Thymus vulgaris (Thyme, English (common))
Thymus vulgaris

Of all the old-fashioned herbs, thyme is one of the most beloved. Its many varieties are consistently lovely and easy to grow, alone or in combination with other flowers or herbs. Both the foliage and the clusters of tiny flowers are beautiful, varying widely in color depending on the cultivar. The flavor of this plant is essential in many herbal combinations, especially in meat and tomato-based dishes, and is excellent with mushrooms, cheeses, and soups. Honey made by bees feasting from thyme flowers is delicious.
