Heads down
Spring is really springing in the garden, it is just a pity that the weather doesn't encourage us to be outside to enjoy it. Some flowers fare better than others with wind and endless rain. Crocus and primrose have taken a battering.
The camellias are none too happy either, the petals quick;y dropping to the floor.
But the hellebores have kept their heads down and escaped unscathed. It is almost impsssible to appreciate their beauty when the are growing and they last no time at all once picked so, whilst I do marvel at all their colours and patterns once I've picked them I do find them rather frustrating.
How astonishing they are when you can see their faces! They have been growing , unblemished in the most disgraceful weather.

Hellebores are so pretty and apt to be overlooked as they glance shyly down to the earth.
ReplyDeleteDisgraceful weather! I like that term, very descriptive. You have certainly been taking a pounding, but i am i awe of all your blooms. Here, we are covered in snow, again.
