Helleborus orientalis

very pretty!

Lovely veining on the petals

Gorgeous .......

i wonder why it took so long to flower....

love the colour,beautiful...

Beautiful!!!

Maybe I should have given it the talking-to earlier! LOL. I haven't a clue why it took so long - shyness??

you know you are supposed to talk to your plants spritz,im having great conversations at the moment with my daffs ,cant tell you what i say though but they are shooting up lol...

This one got a real telling off, Joanella - a final warning! lol.

lol....

ha ha i like it :o)

I was very nasty to it. Grrrr!!!! lol.

You know what they say about patience.........

Well - was four years patient enough? It almost got itself dug up last year - that was when it had its final warning! LOL.

I once waited 8 years for a wisteria to flower!! read an article by Alan T and he said if it has not flowered after two years buy another plant, with flowers, so I did.

Wow! I couldn't be that patient, Dd. How sensible of our Alan. :-)))

Thank goodness otherwise I might still be waiting now........

LOL. I suppose the first one wasn't a grafted one?

No it was not, and at that time I did not know much about them, mind you we have a grafted pink one that has never flowered and it is.......10 years old now!! we were given it as a leaving gift when we moved south, we have plaited it so it makes a statement!! otherwise it would be at the tip now.......

Oh dear - do any of your Wisterias get any flowers on them? Is this a case of try, try, try again?

We bought a new one last year in flower this time, so, it had better flower.

SIGH..... How many is that? You are determined, aren't you!

Yes Barbara, have always loved Wisteria, now I hear there is some sort of disease affecting them, has been know to kill them even well established plants.

UN-believeable, Dd!!!!!!! :-(((
