    The hellebores have never looked as good as they do this spring. If none of the other perennials perform this year I will still be able to say I've had a great flowering year.

    Your forsythia is almost finished!! :eek: Mine hasn't even started this year yet. :-D I do have hellebores out at the moment though along with crocus, snowdrops and a few polyanthus. Thanks for sharing the flowers in your garden with us - especially those gorgeous white hellebores.

    Cherylad and Droopy thanks for the kind comments.

    Philip and Eileen, onee of the wonders of the Stew is having an extended spring. I never get tired of seeing snowdrops and early bloomers. :stew1:
