This is the third Iris reticulata flower I've had - the first two got munched. :-( Helleborus x hybridus 'Winter Moonbeam'

Looking good Geranium. None of my hellebores have a name now. They have just seeded and come up when they are ready.

Lovely to see your Iris reticulata and Hellibore Geranium . Isn't it nice to see things coming early this year My bulbs are all coming up but only one little snowdrop flower so far.
These are in a covered place by the back doorThese are some Hellibore buds in the garden now

Oooh - Daffodils! How bright and cheerful they are, Hywel - Mine are nowhere near flowring yet, but a friend up the lane has a clump. I have a lot of baby Hellebores potted up, but not really making a lot of progress as yet. Of course I don't know what colour they'll be.

Lovely Geranium. That is always a good early one and a stayer too. I must buy it instead of always being so mean.

You'll have to make a note somewhere to buy some bulbs in the autumn, Cherry - on your calendar maybe? They're not expensive.

I had a few of those in my garden Geranium but something ate the stems and the flowers fell over The first of the crocus are up.

At last the crocus. WF I can't grow these as the birds peck them if the rabbits don't dig them up. I just put a few around the gardens practically at my feet.
