Had a walk around the garden, a bit sad that I will miss this for a while and all the Hellebores. Bulbs are on the move in the ground and in various planters around the garden. Hellebores are springing up everywhere...I think I will leave the leaves covering the borders this year as possible protection. Dogwood stands out glowing on a dreary Winter's day. Beauty is waking up.
Wow Oreti— enter, the Daff, and it’s influencer, ms Spring. Mother Nature is well chuffed. The Helebores. Oh my, mine are deep in sleep and splayed flat over the floor.
Yes the emergence of buds and bulbs certainly lifts the spirits and boosts optimism for brighter and warmer times. Yours will stir soon @Sjoerd .
Very colourful @Pacnorwest hubby grew one a long time ago and it had 2 flower stems with 4 flowers on each.
Thank you @Logan And @Sjoerd. Some will grow 2 stems and others have super double blooms as well as lasting for a few weeks they simply brighten any winter season with the bloomin show. I have collected the bulbs for a few years. Found this bulb pic was definately a WHAT!!! Reminds me of one of my favoriates Aunts.
Pac—Great foto. It put a big smile on my face. Loggie— They look swell. Are you planning to prune them at all?
Thanks Sjoerd, I've got 12 altogether,i will prune 4 of them for the hanging baskets and I'll leave the rest to grow up the canes. I've got 2 baskets and I'll put 2 in each at the front.
