Hellebore Tutu....

The borders surely must dry out sometime? I am afraid to count my Iris losses, water sitting in their crowns.

Oh dear Siris, what a pity....

I remember digging out clay in a semi circular border in my last garden. I was down to my waist in mud! I added a lot of sand. It definitely helped but its very hard to solve waterlogging in burders.

Some of my plants are creating micro ponds on their roots and saw a tiny froglet walking across the front garden, no ponds there! I have heard of the Aloes in tropical countries having wee frogs living in their micro pools.

This is a pretty Clem , It must be almost time to start pruning some of them down , I hate doing it as they look so healthy with foliage & buds ...

Amy it's a Hellebore.... lol!! Karen normally the plants would survive, but we have received far too much rain this winter, it will sort itself out all being well?

:) Yes.....far too much!

What am I like Lol .. I must say they do look very alike on a photo ,Do I need to go to Spec-savers :o))

Amy you could be forgiven for thinking it was a clematis, very much like one......and just as pretty!
