Aren’t they beautiful Dawn? My double one is getting ready to flower. Tons of buds every year! But I moved it a couple of weeks ago, so I hope it will be ok.

One of the highlights in the garden in winter. I like everything about them.

Me too Wildrose, not going to do well this time, might have to buy some more plants....

This is always the earliest hellebore to flower in my garden, it's always around now, the wet weather knocks it around, the petals are so delicate and soon become bedraggled but it really stands out these dark miserable days, a little gem. A few more might be helpful.

You used to be able to get glass domes to put over them to protect the flowers.

Perhaps I ought to get a couple for the balcony! This looks very good!

I love it when these start blooming there's something special about them at this time of the year ..

They really are special plants . . . I brought two H. Anna’s Red (named for Anna Pavord) from my old garden. I must go and see if they are in bud . . .

I agree Amy. Are they in bud Sheila?

One is, one isn’t Dawn!

Fingers crossed for two good shows Sheila, probably one will follow the other

Thanks Dawn, hope you’re right - they’re such lovely, long-flowering plants :)

Such a treat to see these Dawn, mine is about the same, lighting up a dark corner...:))
