Thankyou both ... finding this today has really made me happy ... I haven't been looking round the garden for some weeks ... seemed to have lost interest but should be back in the swing of things soon ... :o)) ..... Oh, hello Paul, our comments crossed there! ... first time I've ever grown Hellebores ... :o)

Same here Shirley :))

So pretty :o)

Very pretty

That's gorgeous . . . glad you felt like taking your camera outside! Sure you'll be "back in the swing of things" very soon. Look after yourself.

Thanks Terra and Sheilar ... :o)) .......

Hi Sheila ... currently making a blog as Spring colours and sounds seem to have awakened me from my recent lethargy ... :o)))

Great news - looking forward to it already!!

:o)))

Very beautiful.

Thanks, Gm ... I need to see if the others have opened up ... not much sun today so I doubt it ... :o(

Its been bloomin cold today Shirley, not nice outside at all.

So nice....:>)

Much warmer today, Gm ... hope it's the same with you? .....

Thanks Motty, didn't recognise you with your new avatar ... looks like we are both Hellebores now ... lol!

Its a beautiful day today, have been planting some new bits and the washing is on the line!! 1st time this year.

I can sense your happiness on this mild and sunny day ... :o)

What a colour! Lovely.

I have just received a creamy coloured one from a kindly neighbour who we help sometimes so have planted in the front garden.

Thanks, Katarina ... :o) ....... Sounds lovely, Linda ... hope it grows well for you ... :o)

so do I Shirley. Perhaps I will buy a purple one to put round the other side.
