Late Winter is abloom
And I am in love
***

These white Hellebores are gently nodding
Right above the snow drops.
Its their first year 
Blooming
Here in my garden
***

While the Ivory Prince is an old hat...
I am equally excited to see his prolific show
***




Is there anything blooming in your garden yet?

Nothing! Looks like a barren wasteland out there! We're losing snow faster than I can keep track, though, so...progress, I guess.

every year I think about planting hellebores and every year I drop the ball. when is the right time to plant them?

Kate,

Its barely trying to warm up here... But its a cold rainy day today for sure.

Ive planted hellebores in the spring summer and fall with good luck. One thing I've learned is that the darker purple varieties take several years to bloom well...

I hope you see some blooming soon!

it is not private anymore, there were problems with the invitation link with many people, so it had to change back.
