These plants belong to the family Lamiaceae and are widely used in culinary applications. The vibrant pink flowers Serpillium, commonly referred to as Wild Thyme, add a touch of beauty to any garden. With its delicate petals and fragrant aroma, it attracts bees and butterflies alike. This particular species is also known for its medicinal properties, often used in herbal remedies for respiratory ailments. On the other hand, Thymus vulgaris or Garden Thyme boasts stunning purple flowers that captivate onlookers. Its strong flavor makes it a popular choice in cooking dishes like soups, stews, marinades, and even teas.

Another member of the Thymus family is Cretan oregano (Origanum onites) which shares similarities with wild thyme.

Breckland thyme or wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is another variant worth mentioning. It grows abundantly across open grasslands and heathlands with tiny yet charming lavender-colored blooms dotting its landscape during summer months. The distinctive scent emitted by this plant adds an earthy note when incorporated into recipes ranging from roasted meats to vegetable dishes. Whether you prefer leaf vegetables or herbs infused with flavorsome notes, there's no denying that different types of thymes offer unique characteristics suitable for all tastes.
