Sure looks like spring there in that bed. I adore your new Hellebore.The dark center is so pretty with the tinged petals. Thanks for letting me know that the blooms last so long. I had no idea! I hope they seed for me too. That would be an added bonus to growing them. I did not know there was a variegated Rhododendron either. What pretty foliage. I always forget to get Snowdrops in the Fall. I need yet another list.

The sun sets later, the river isn't frozen ... but I know we have more winter in store. I'll be starting some seeds soon, inside. I ordered some flowers that will arrive in the spring. I can't wait to spend an entire day out in the garden! Know I'll be sore, too.
