Spring has sprung!


The spring flowers are up and adding some lovely color to the gardens right now.  I've been enjoying the new bulbs so much that I've already ordered more of them to plant this fall for next spring.  I also found some cute pansies for the front beds and some hellebores for the somewhat shaded woodland garden under the big maple tree by the pond in the back.  The hellebores, commonly known as Lenten roses, are perennials and said to reseed quite prolifically.  They look graceful and right at home among the salal and ferns.

beautiful! we don't get those 'first spring flowers'- tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, etc. I mis the joy of them popping up through the last layer of snow.

but I don't miss the snow.

I have some nice hellebores, though.
