Hellebores

Lovely Blog Gill so hope we are not paying for last yr.

I may also need to pick mine if rain keeps up.

I have one that has loads of blooms on it, started opening before xmas and still going strong, even though the poor thing has really taken a battering since then, its very resilient and is still showing off its blooms, defying the elements really, lol......

Lizzie - I've heard the way to stop them drooping is plunge them up to their necks in almost boiling-water for a few seconds. Never tried it myself, as I don't 'do' flower arranging

Such beautiful plants and I hope they will last for quite some time for you to enjoy.

I hope not, Lizzie ! They look gorgeous. I hope they last a while!

They look lovely lizzie, I remember karensusan picking the heads from a few in her last garden and floating them in a pretty bowl of water remember thinking what a good idea :-)

Beautiful, I have never had much luck with them :0)
