What’s looking good in February 2020

A little colour for your morning...

 

I was lucky enough to visit a garden open under NGS today - Gelli Uchaf in Carmarthenshire. Snowdrops in abundance, glorious daphne bholua scenting the whole garden in the sunshine, cyclamen etc.

 

More hellebores opening up - the double one didn't flower last year and I'd pretty much forgotten it was even there, so that was a bonus!

 

Wild crocuses catching the late afternoon sunshine yesterday...

 

Blossom on my Apricot tree - time to get the tickling stick out ​

 

Some of the early hellebores brought in to get a closer look
​

 

Corydalis paschei (normally mid March)


Hellebore seedlings


Hellebore hybrids



Helleborus*sternii (Helleborus argutifolius × lividus)

 

The first of my rhododendrons in flower


​

 

Newly bought hellebores... not sure the weather will allow me to plant them this weekend.

 

Few bits from the garden.

 

I took the opportunity of taking a photo while there were no cars in the yard. All the spring bulbs are coming along nicely.
