Hey! You've got a clump in flower - I only have one out! But I've got a Hellebore in flower, too. And my Hamamelis 'Arnold Promise' is in bloom, as well.

I do have enough snowdrops in my garden to sink a battle ship, there are hundreds of clumps which are not in flower. Some are only just poking through the soil.
My Hamamelis is only just flowering and the flowers are very small.
Not even a bud on my Hellebores, I'm hoping for a good display this year, they didn't flower last year because I moved them.

One lovely thing we found when we moved here was that our predecessors had planted lots of snowdrops! No, it's not surprising that your Hellebores sulked. . Fingers crossed for this year! Which Hamamelis have you got? My other one is 'Rubin' - a red one. Here's a photo from last year.

It was moved last autumn so I'm not expecting miracles

Would it be 'Diane' - does that sound right?

Did you forget to feed it 'Miracle grow' ?

Oh, that's good, Rosie. Having said that, there might be some in your new garden, too!
