Hello hellebores!

I have been cheered by some happy things in the garden, so though I would share them.  My snowdrops are only just starting to bud up, so more on them when there is more to see. In the meantime, here are two hellebores. Hello Ruby above, growing in a pot near to the back door.
This is Hello White Pearl, also in a pot.  I am really pleased to see them again and perhaps I would like a couple more...  They seem to be coping admirably with the frosts at night, so I am looking forward to seeing those flowers.  In other news, I received a new plant today, which I needed to buy to cheer myself up, after a pretty rubbish week at work last week (that's my excuse, anyway!)

    We've got to cheer ourselves in whatever way we need to do it. Thank you for sharing your cheer with the rest of us too. ~Andrea XOXOXO

      Thanks, Andrea. I totally agree - a little boost now and again is a good thing! I am looking forward to the Spring flowers over the next few months, but the hellebores are doing a good job at the moment.

    The garden is so often a place of joy isn't it? I love your hellebores and am wondering what the new plant you HAD to have is. And I so understand that mindset. I hope this week is much better than last.

      Thanks, EC. It certainly is and even in the Winter, I still enjoy having a quick look round. Sometimes weeks are like that, aren't they? Not that I necessarily needed the plant, but it did cheer me up! I will post about it shortly.

    I am always amazed by any plant that can cope with frosts and flower! These are such pretty plants.

    I am sorry to hear you had a rubbish week at work, I do hope it is a better week for you this week.

      Thanks, sustainablemum. We are getting lots of frosts at night at the moment, but these plants seem to be managing well so far and I am so thankful for them. Work sometimes is like that, so Iam hoping for a better week this week too.

    Plant therapy is the best Ellie xXx Your Hellebores are so pretty, and great names too ! That reminds me, there's a hellebore nursery near me that I've been meaning to visit. Now might be a good time :) x

      Thanks, Lulu. Plant therapy is always a good thing! Ooh, a hellebore nursery...it's probably just as well I don't live near it!
      I look forward to seeing your purchases.
