How nice to have a hellebore in bloom. I'm so excited to see several of the babies I planted last year in bloom. I hope they put out a couple, at least.

Sorry to have missed commenting on some of your great posts but I am having some difficulties at the moment. I loved seeing the snowy pictures on the previous post though.<br /><br />It has been too cold to snow here for the last week but it is trying to as I type this! I fear we may get more later.<br /><br />I do like Hellebores and there seem to be so many different ones around now, I must find out how mine are doing before they get covered with snow which is already getting heavier!!<br /><br />I think your bulb looked like a Snowdrop to me? I really must plant some more as mine deserted me last year.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-17685362175312604112010-01-05T12:50:36.804+00:002010-01-05T12:50:36.804+00:00Hi Liz - hellebores grow like weeds in our garden ...Hi Liz - hellebores grow like weeds in our garden so feel free to pop over and take a couple!<br />Mind you, you'll never find 'em under all the snow - I've just been out to measure it (how sad am I eh?!) and we've got just over 4 inches!<br />Stay safe in the snow :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-42489119711181032912010-01-04T21:45:46.235+00:002010-01-04T21:45:46.235+00:00Hi Liz....I know what you mean.

They average around £13 here, with some being even more... That's around $25...

Woo hoo, so glad to see them... Although they're once again under a blanket of snow and will remain there most likely for another few days or so.<br /><br />I'm thrilled to have the Hellebore, I'm surprised Nan picked up on it...

But today there's been sleet with suspicious large flakes of snow mixed in, so no doubt it's only a matter of time before it settles.<br /><br />Bah.<br /><br />Happy New Year Cheryl, I hope you had a relaxing and peaceful time :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-7315663605600010772010-01-02T12:15:37.668+00:002010-01-02T12:15:37.668+00:00Hi Sue,
