Sounds of Melting~
From yesterday afternoon's clearing, sunshine - we woke to a world of white. Another three inches of very wet snow accumulated overnight. I do have to say that by now... I'm ready for some warmer weather & maybe the color of a few flowers?
As the day progresses, the sun
appears again, things start warming up & the snow is melting! I
head up into the woods to see if how the hellebore's are doing... to
find that yes! They've finally bloomed!
I fixed the link below the photo. They've only become "popular" here in the last ten years - I found them about that long ago at Molbacks Nursery in Woodinville. It took me several years to find a spot where they would live & have three varieties started. They do great in pots in the winter too!
My daffodils are trying to come out, but the weather just hasn't been helpful! I want some pretty flowers too! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you have flowers blooming now? I've never heard of the Hellebore before, why does it bloom in Winter?
