Here is this year's pic of my hellebore. Love it!! (It's other name is Lenten Rose - because it blooms so early in the year. Appropriate that Lent is just around the corner) It has resided on my front porch since last early spring. Because it isn't out in the weather, and still in a big pot, I have had to water it all year - not a problem! I checked last year's post of it and this year is about a week earlier than then....love the color. I also have 3 small new plants of hellebore, but they aren't blooming yet. I might have to wait for next year for them. I bought them at the end of last season on sale from Gurney's, so they were fairly small, and still are.I have hopes they are different colors than this big blooming one.
Anybody have any daffodils or other early bulbs popping up? Mine are about an inch above the dirt. I had mulched them with some leaves the Youth Group brought over, but the wind storms before the snow and after have taken them all away. I think the warmer 2 weeks after the snow encouraged them to sprout above ground. I hope it doesn't freeze hard before they can get to full size.
