My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

Philip. lovely to see you and thank you for the arty card. Sorry you have not been well again and hopefully Wednesday goes well. What is this about a move after all the work you have done on the cottage and your dreamy garden.

Take care. Vxx

 

Good to see you back again. Philip, & thanks for the lovely e-card you sent us! Get well soon & we wish you all the very best.

 

I wish you well Philip and thank you for the lovely card.

 

Thank you for the big welcome back folks,..i hated being away and worse where i was,..food was really bad and the tea had a weird smell.

Images captured today.

Hellebore 'Pink Lady'









Hellebore 'Double Ellen Red'












Hellebore 'Double Ellen Picotee'

 

Hellebores are beautiful Philip, they certainly lift the spirits at this time of year don't they.

Bad food and smellie tea ... !!!... not the medicine for aiding a steady recovery!

 

Hi Upsydaisy,..i don't have Daffodils so the Hellebores are a great substitute,..lovely to see indeed.

Oh that weird smell from the hospital tea,..figured it out as exactly like the smell of Iorn Tablets.

 

Another Hellebore,..it started blooming in January.

Hellebore niger,.. also named Bears Foot and Christmas Carol.



In bloom now,..Clematis Freckles.



Hebe,..two species below,..sadly i lost another over winter.









Healthy looking cabbage,..alas we are due snow,..will it survive?

 

Beautiful Hellebores Philip, wish I could grow them. Sadly my pink Hebe and yours died, I believe due to lack of water.

 

Perhaps they were sneaking you some extra iron.

I think we have lost several Hebes this Winter, I never realised they were on the tender side otherwise I would have given them some protection. I have left them in for now...hoping miracles do really happen.

 

Hi Vicky,..sorry you lost yours,..neglect caused mine to give up and i would also say lack of water as well

 

Hi Upsydaisy,..i neglected to care for the one i lost,.. it was in a small container and i forgot it due to a bigger one next to it,..lack of water i guess,..first one i ever lost,..sorry you lost yours

 

The card below i should have posted earlier,..alas i fell asleep

You can view your card here.

 

No new blooms since the last post but i was entertained watching the dove wrap its wings around the bird feeder in order to hang on.

 

What lovely pics to capture Philip!!

Hope all is good with you and that you are recovering steadily.

Our ' poorly' looking Hebes are all in the ground....so it couldn't be due to lack of water here. I think it must be down to the low temps this last Winter.
