Everyone: look at my hellebores!
At the end of every winter, the hellebores get their simple tidying up... a few minutes per year of care, and...
...voila! Really. I can't think of an easier, more gorgeous, carefree perennial. Shade-loving, persistent even when occasionally snowed upon, and with a form that looks like a bouquet growing straight out of the ground. And maybe also a bit because they herald spring, hellebores are probably my favorite perennials in my garden.

My awesome gardening friends...thanks for leaving a comment! I don't typically repond here, but I love knowing who you are so I can visit your blog as well.
btw - if you're trying to show me nude Miley Cyrus photos, sell me nikes or viagra or antibiotics, or encourage my lovely garden readers to visit your site on solar panel construction, or seo-whatevers, sorry, but I'm not publishing your comment. If you want to moderate my blog - well, I can't keep you too busy, and the pay would be horrible. And lastly, no. I'm not interested in Club Penguin cheat codes. Thanks anyway.

I love the pink hellebores!! I am lucky to be far enough south that I don't typically have to trim back my hellebores, but this year was an exception. I was so impressed in how they recovered and how gorgeous they looked after their haircut. They are truly great plants.
ReplyDeleteI think my blog readers are like your family, my posts this time of year are all garden!
Beautiful hellebores - I love the mix of colors you have! I'm the same way with my family... always jumping around pointing at things, while they roll their eyes. Why isn't the whole world excited that (X) has started blooming in my yard? :-)
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is especially stunning. I will ooh and aah, even if your family will not.
ReplyDeleteThose are definitely worth ogling, Wendy. I love the pink one.
