Flowers in February

These first two photos are a bit of a cheat as they are flowers we were given last weekend when a friend came round to the house (first time in two years!)
They are a lovely combination of happy colours.
Out in the garden, hellebore 'Hello White Pearl' is flowering away beautifully. 
I also have some snowdrops which make me smile when I see them.  They are one of my favourite flowers, which I admire for their tenacity. The one above is an Elwesii, and I like the extra green colouring.
My clumps of normal snowdrops - Galanthus nivalis but they are a bit taller than the normal ones, so may be a different type - really need splitting up now.  Originally, they came from my Mum's garden.
Such a delicate looking flower.
Camellia Yoimachi is flowering away at last.  I like the very delicate edge of pink to the petals on this flower.
While this flower has much more pink.
My newest Camellia 'Yuletide' is still flowering nicely, adding a bright pop of colour to the sometimes grey days.
Winter flowering honeysuckle is also in bloom.  There haven't been that many sunny days recently, when the perfume really wafts round the garden, but if you manage to get your nose close to the flower, the perfume is definitely there.  It's a straggly shrub, but I am very fond of it.
More snowdrops to finish, just because.  I am hoping to have a snowdrop garden visit at the weekend, all being well.  More snowdrops to follow in that case...
