Hellebores

Stunning Helebores Brian yours are further than mine.

Love your wee friend.

Nothing wee about him when he mugs me.

If Jamie is anything like my Oscar - he will be thinking of his stomach!
A lovely floral blog Brian - way ahead of mine too!

Some beautiful blooms BJS.

Brian, you have almost National Helebore Treasury in your garden! So large collection of a beautiful flowers. I wonder, what will happen with my seeds.....until now no movement of the soil, but we still have some frosts.

Katarina they probably need a drop of dog wee to activate them LOL

You are today in a top form, Brian.

Lovely photos of beautiful flowers. It's well worth taking the time to look at flowers properly and its nice that you take the time to explain what we are seeing. I had not realised that this is another coloured bract plant. I had a close look at some of my photos and was able to spot the 'petals'. Thank you for sharing.

It has taken me years to get any to grow in my garden Bjs, having now succeeded I have planted a mixed selection only two weeks back, pleased to say they are all doing well, if they reward me like yours do for you then I`ll be a very happy gardener....
Lovely blog, I think by the expression on his face that Jamie wants your attention please!!!!!!!!!

fantastic show ! here in the Fens we have just a couple of purple buds showing today. There are about a dozen different types but no flowers yet, soon though!!

lovely - cannot beat hellebores. always nice to see Jamie and snowdrops and ferns - perfect!

Beautiful flowers to brighten another cold rainy morning

I was thinking back, in early may last year around the time of my birthday the drought broke with torrential rain, thats 9 months ago, we had a few sunny or dry days since then but I cannot remember a week without rain in all that time

Pam I think we have had enough for a while,we will all be sprouting Gills soon.

Some very pretty Hellebores there Brian , most of mine are still very reluctant to open up ,there's plenty of buds though so something to look forward to ....... I have some cyclamen coums in flower :o) I think Jamie wants to go inside for his supper !

Amy
Definitely a food related look,he only has one other look and that means Play.
Cyclamen have hardly opened in the garden here,the one shown in the picture is under cover.

Lovely Brian especially the furry one :0)

Cool! :-) Nice helleborus collection!

Lovely to see mature clumps of hellebores like this Brian :) Seeing them rotting on their plants in the rain ....terrible...doesn't exactly fill one with hope for the season to come does it? Ach well, Que sera, sera ...nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to wait and see what comes along next.
