Interesting comparison between the hellebore and lenten rose. I must have the lenten rose then - no jagged leaves. I should try the type you have - the flowers seem more...show offy than mine - I practically need to dig mine out of the dirt. <br /><br />Cute "little gardeners" - are they your kids?

Wow, it's spring in your zone! ...Hi Catherine,<br />Wow, it's spring in your zone! I love your hellebore and other blooms! I am hoping the different kinds of hellebores I planted last year bloom this spring. You sure are getting a lot of enjoyment from your pond. I wonder if we could find a spot for a small one. Larry has a whisky barrel with fish in it on the deck, but wildlife can't drink out of it there.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog. I had some gardening topics in mind to post on this winter, but now that I'm getting ready for a new kitchen, I am not keeping up. I am so excited! I looked at the calendar, and noticed that the kitchen is due to be finished the first day of spring.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-5352936122512547782010-02-13T07:50:06.788-08:002010-02-13T07:50:06.788-08:00Beautiful photos - your garden is way ahead of min...Beautiful photos - your garden is way ahead of mine, I'm quite envious of those wonderful splashes of colour!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-91279759702803382682010-02-13T07:30:14.074-08:002010-02-13T07:30:14.074-08:00I love all the vibrant colors!

You'll have to let us know if dusting the bulbs works. I guess that's jumping the gun tho ~ we should think positively and say they'll bloom this year and no need for that! I was going to ask if it got cold enough ~ especially this year since you said it had been so mild? If the tulips bloom tho, that can't really be it. <br />Funny how much earlier than normal the camellia is ~ if everything follows suit, I won't be able to stand it! There will be flowers everywhere while we are still wallowing in snow. <br />I always love looking at pics of your pond and very fun that the wrens are thinking of nesting so soon. I hope you can get a photo sometime. Have a great weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!

Weird. I keep thinking that this is not good, that it will upset the balance. Like, what happens when the hummingbirds who migrate return and a lot of their food sources have already finished blooming? <br /><br />Love that shot of the raindrops in your pond. So peaceful. Odd that most daffodils don't come up for you. I guess mine don't repeat too well either, come to think of it. The Poeticus ones in my old garden did come back, have you tried them? Very elegant and they also smell delicious.
