SPRING HELLEBORE IN OUR GARDEN

Our mild winter ( and maybe last summer's heat and drought?) has provided us with some bright and early color in our gardens this year. 
one of my favorites, I call it a reverse picotee.


The Hellebores especially have been amazing. I've had some interesting blooms from seedlings, too. And for once there is very little disease on them. I hope I'm not speaking too soon with this and last week's deluges. Stay away boytritis!  And with the hail today, there is a reason these face downwards.
