The Ice Follies daffodils are beginning to bloom and there are still lots of buds to open....
More of the older unknown daffodils are still blooming too.

The 'Ivory Prince' hellebore is beginning to bloom. I've read that the old leaf stalks should be cut down so that the blooms are more visible. I didn't have to do that....something did it for me. So far they haven't come back for the blooms. We know there are herds of deer on our property, but there are also lots of rabbits, and other wild critters. There are several other hellebores in the garden but the others did not fare as well from being eaten back.
I am probably too anxious for more blooms since it is still just the middle of March, but I am still searching for signs of buds on any warm day. Until there are more I do have a few moth orchids to enjoy inside.
Hoping your enjoying your gardens and thank you to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting the bloom day each month. There are so many beautiful gardens to see.

I am surprised to hear that you have something eating your hellebores! So sad!
ReplyDeleteBut H.'Ivory Prince' is a real winner! I would like to have one myself someday.
Happy spring!
