First of a few to flower.

Blue?

Don't they always lift the spirits?

Sue, it's a pure white. I think it gives off a blue tinge when it's pure white and it's so cold! Plus a little shade.

They certainly do, Ange. So dainty and pretty.

Lovely ... no sign of any yet in my garden ... Bjs (Brian) gifted me some many years ago.

Lovely aren't they. Mine are starting to flower now.

Thank you, Shirley and Linda! Shirley, I’ve a few from Brian too, plus some hellebores. Sadly some hellebores didn’t flourish. They were little seedling plants.

found a few popping up too Kate , nice to see

Kate, he was so generous with his plant gifts ... :o)

He gave me a ghost fern once too , it's lovely (Brian)

Wow, how lovely Kate and early by comparison to my garden!

Thanks everyone, yes, he was very kind. I had some texts from him several months ago, some updates, but I haven't heard anything recently.

Kate, should you hear from Brian, would you be kind enough to let me know please? Thanks.

Of course, definitely! Apologies for my late response, Shirley x

Kate, never apologise for a late comment, you're a busy working lady after all! :o))
