Hellebore collection

I found it tricky to get down low enough to get decent pics of the Hellebores, but just about good enough to share!
Pretty sure this is Anna’s Red; I don’t know the names of the others …

This is exciting for me because it is the first time the little Apricot tree has blossomed in this garden :)

Sunshine and showers to day, more like April than the 2nd March. Have a happy weekend!

I do like the creamy yellow ones in pics 3 and 4 and how lovely to have blossom on the Apricot tree.

The hellebores are gorgeous Sheila.
It will be great to see if you get apricots this year.

You do have a really lovely collection there, Sheila!!! They are all very pretty, but, I'm liking pic 3 too..love the buttery colour!
Your sorbaria looks so pretty too, healthy as well. I'll bet you're so chuffed your apricot has blossomed!!!! I'd be too!!!

According to records Klahanie, we have had the wettest February ever in the UK … far more rain than usual which we did notice! Hoping for warmer, drier weather in March.

In our old garden, the little Prunus meme had very pretty pinky-red flowers, but here the flowers are white. No explaining it. I certainly don’t expect fruit - in fact I have no memory of what made me grow it in the first place. Thank you for your comment. x

Lovely to see all your lovely Hellebore pictures, Sheila! 👍 I'd like to grow them on the balcony but the only time I had one it didn't last a year even! Probably because our balcony faces SW & therefore gets all the sun going from about 11am till it sets. During the summer it can get quite hot - too hot to be comfortable sometimes.

Thanks David!

Really lovely photos Sheila, and considering your wrist. Hope it's feeling okay now.
You've a good selection of hellebores there. I've a very similar one to the yellow/cream hellebore and this year it's done very well, must be all the damp!
Exciting to see the apricot in flower Sheila. I planted this years ago, but it didn't thrive, so yours is doing well. x

Thanks very much Janey. My wrist is still painful, but I actually managed a short drive today - success!
Yes, all the rain has produced some good things ... x
