    South-east Norway has new snow today. I'm glad I'm on the coast.

    Oh me, oh my...look at that palate of colour!
    Those Helleborus plants are looking supurb. I find the new freckled double looks very nice. Congratulations on the addition.
    I had to look twice at thet "Tutu", as at first glance I thopught it was an Aquilegia. hahaha. It's a gorgeous thing.

    Beautiful blooms Droopy. I'll be keeping my eyes open for Helleborus plants in the garden centers this year.

    Wonderful Droopy, those have cheered me up, we are in the middle of a 4 day rainy spell. I love the heather, as I can't grow it here.
