                  Gorgeous Helebores @NigelJ , love the doubles in photo 2. What is so weird is there is you living in Devon and me in Scotland and my Helebores are also completely out and have been for about 10 days. We should be a good while behind you but not this year, it really has been a pretty mild winter for us in comparison to some humdingers:)

                        As the weather was very dull yesterday I had a quick stroll round the garden. It doesn't really make for good photos but I took some anyway. :)

                        Some Hellebores
                        In a pot by the front door
                        P1320825.JPG

                        In one of our woody areas (snowdrops in the background)
                        P1320840.JPG

                        P1320842.JPG
                        Some more later - I think

                        Witchhazel - lovely scent by the front path
                        P1320830.JPG

                        White heather opposite the witchhazel
                        P1320823.JPG

                        P1320822.JPG

                        This is our clematis Armandii that we planted in our new bed. Just its second season and the first flowers are about to come out. There are loads of them :blue thumb:

                        We have a lot of croci coming out but these are the brightest so far
                        P1320835.JPG

                        Pulmonaria, one of my favourite Spring flowers that blooms for months. Haven't tidied that bed yet :noidea:

                          Sorry about the slightly out of focus shots but the camera couldn't cope with the poor light :sad:

                          Some more of our Hellebore beds
                          P1320847.JPG

                          P1320848.JPG

                          All these are going to be dug up and either potted up for sale or moved elsewhere (the space is needed for something else)
                          P1320828.JPG

                          Our doubles are usually later but these are already going well

                              Fabulous trunk!
                              I can see a dinosaur chewing something and looking to its left where there is a cyclops with their left leg bent back, a very high belly button (!) and arms behind their back.
