Today i was dog sitting for a friend, who has a beautiful garden. between the heavy showers (Alas the snow did not extend this far south, although parts of England did get some), I took some photos.
Jean has a lovely collection of hellebores also known as the Christmas Rose or the Lenten Lily .
All the flowers here are hellebores.
Absolutely beautiful. I saw my first spring blooms today. What a great feeling that is after a long winter! :)
ReplyDeleteBailey dug up one of my hellebores last year. She rarely digs anymore, so I can only assume hellebores are either really offensive to retrievers, or more likely, really tasty.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I'm not familiar with hellebores. Is that a phyla category?
ReplyDeleteThe Hellebores are a sub family in the Ranunculacae (Buttercup family)
