Hellebore

Wet in fact very wet here Shirley a couple of hours sun then back to rain....good to see the Hellebores isn't it?

Nice and early. No sign of mine yet.

Dotty, it's fair to say I am getting fed up with the heavy rain now. Squelched my way across the grass earlier ... :o(

Hywel, mine will have gone when yours are out!

It’s so lovely to see them, Shirley. I was surprised too, to see my H. Anna’s Red in flower (still in its pot!).

I'll have to go down the garden tomorrow and have a look

Sheila, my OH thinks all Hellebores should be in pots in order to see the down-turned flowers better!

I agree with your OH :)

Shirley - he has a point. Because mine are still in pots, I've brought a couple in for the kitchen windowsill, which is at eye-level, and I'm enjoying the sight :)

That's a good idea Sheila ... I recall a gardening programme showing Hellebores being grown in hanging baskets ... purely to admire the blooms without crouching down!

Not sure that would work here ... it would only take a hefty coastal breeze to blow the baskets away ... :o(

Quite a storm last night/early morning which meant our bird table and bee box were both on their sides today ... undamaged thank goodness.
