Helleborus x hybridus 'Harvington Picotee'

I do like a #happy-accident When I planted this #hellebore several years ago, I completely forgot there were daffodils planted there and now they come up to complement it 💕💛

Thanks Laura, you too 💐 @columbiariver

Lovely accident💖

Thank you 😊 @elizabethmcbroom

That lovely #hellebore-Harrington-picotee from yesterday... It will bounce back though ❄️🌸❄️🌸❄️ #hellebore

It will - they are amazing in so many ways!

They really are wonderful @valjones-hughes

Another of my favourites #hellebore #helleboreappreciationsociety 💞

Beautiful 😍

Thanks Deborah 😊 The markings are amazing aren’t they @DeborahBanks

Yes its gorgeous

Stunning! 💗

It is isn’t it Beck 💞 @mrsflowerpot

This is gorgeous 💖💜💖

Thanks Jane 😊 @pelly

Everything is gorgeous about it 😍 The colour, the markings, the form. Stunner!

It’s a bit special isn’t it 😊 @ublaszko

So elegant

It is isn’t it, but aren’t they all 😉 @sharonhayden

Just when I thought the flowers were finally going to open... nature had other ideas ❄️❄️❄️

🙈 maybe later in the week 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I'm sure it will lift again 🤔👌

It had perked up by the time I got home but still refusing to open 🤷‍♀️ @richard.spicer.7906 @pelly

They do like to take their time!! 🙄😂

Don’t they just 😉😂 @pelly

22 Jan 19 • You are so right Suzie! Some flowers look just as pretty from the back - which is just as well as that’s all I can see of this hellebore today 🙄❄️ @jadojado29

Morning Jacqueline @awomanonabike I think these are the worst culprits for looking backwards 😂 still look Lovely though 💕😍😘

Beautiful from any angle! She looks a bit chilly though! 🥶

They are aren’t they. But we still love ‘em 😍 @jadojado29

She really is. So am I!! The sun was out earlier but I think it might be about to snow some more ❄️🥶❄️ @rachelbrooks

Eek! I won’t tell you it’s gloriously sunny and a balmy 6° here then?! 😉

Lovely....💗 I’ve got Magic Picotee it’ll be interesting to see the difference..if it ever opens that is...

#itsbehindyou Jacqueline 🤣🤣 @awomanonabike 😘

I’m so glad you didn’t tell me that Rachel ❄️🥶 @rachelbrooks

Ooh interesting. I look forward to seeing it too Elaine 💕 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

👍🏼👍🏼😉😘

Gorgeous 😀

14 Jan 18 • Got down on my hands and knees to get this 😉💕 #hellebore

Well worth it! She’s a little stunner! 💕(What must we all look like getting the pics we do in our gardens?! 🙈🤣)

Glad you spotted it Rachel. I had meant to tag you. Don’t worry I was in disguise 😎 @rachelbrooks

😁 I was actually thinking today that there must be lots of us crawling round on our hands and knees for hellebore and snowdrop pics!

🤣🤣 I knew I wasn’t the only one @lilybee

Love this one..💕

Me too! I just wish it would bulk up a bit. It’s not much bigger than it was when I planted it about 4 years ago 🙄 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Well I’m very glad to hear you were...’cause that’s not even stranger is it?! 🤦🏻‍♀️😜🤣🤣

You can’t have everything Jacqueline 😆👍🏼

I like to keep you happy dear 😉😂 @rachelbrooks

Oh but I try Elaine, I really try 😉😂 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

You are so thoughtful! 😉😘

15 March 2018 • I just can’t get enough of this #hellebore If you want a hellebore that is happy to look up at you, try this one. It does start off shy but soon lifts its head 💕

It really is fantastic isn’t it Laura @columbiariver

It’s been extremely cold. Heavy snow and very cold winds meant some of the flowers didn’t survive but it’s been milder for the last week or so and they are all looking lush 😊 @columbiariver

It’s on my list 🌸💕 ‘‘tis a beauty

A worthy addition Rachel. And it’s #pink 💕💕 @rachelbrooks

Hurrah! 💕💖💕

28 February 2018 • I think it might be a while yet before these perk up 🙄

I think you may be right!! ❄❄

How’s the snow been down your way today Jane? @pelly

Far too much of it Jacqueline, a lot of Lincolnshire is in lock down and tomorrow we have winds up to 47mph!! Bring on Sunday, it's supposed to be a balmy 5°. 😱😱

Oh crikey. Roll on balmy Sunday ☀️ @pelly

😧😩😱

😔☹😟

27 February 2018 • It’s a bit cold out there ❄️ #wintergarden

Poor babies

I know. They look so sad don’t they? They’ll soon perk up though when it thaws ☀️❄️☀️ @kimguy

Aww looking all forlorn 🌸

I think they’ll be like that for a few days too ❄️❄️❄️ @rachelbrooks

They’ll perk up in no time ☺️

21 February 2018 • Amazing what a little bit of sunshine can do 💕

Gorgeous.👌🏼

Lucky you, it's miserable here 😍😍

Thanks Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

We’ve had a lovely couple of days and forecast is for it to stay dry. Makes a change though Jane 😉😂 @pelly

Gawjus well worth wait 🌼🌼

Definitely Keely. I have others I’m still waiting for though... @Keely

Fab,💜

I guess it does Jacqueline, and I'm glad you've had a couple of good days, but I've had enough now and it's getting worse next week again, will winter ever end? 🤔🤔

Still waiting on mine too can see a teeny bud though 😄

A real beauty that one!

Thanks Julie 😊 @juliesgarden

12 February 2018 • Almost...Nearly there...You can do it... #hellebore

I don't blame it in this crazy weather ❄☃️

😂 Me neither Diane @Diane76

Did you get the thunder snow last night? It was strange but spectacular and noisy.

Just another week or two...🙈 looks a fab one Jacqueline 💕

We woke up to an inch of snow but didn’t hear thunder. How weird. The snow has already all gone though ❄️😩 @Diane76

It is Rachel. Or rather it will be when it finally shows itself 😊 @rachelbrooks

They do take their sweet time! 🙄☺️

Still a bit shy, but almost there... #hellebore

Beautiful 💕

Gorgeous 😀

It is a lovely one isn't it Debra & Jayne? I love the veining 💕 @debs69 @jaynehynesburton

Beautiful Jacqueline. Love the colour. 😍😍

It's by far one of the nicest I have seen @awomanonabike 😍

It is really lovely 😀

Ooh she's gorgeous - the veining is beautiful 🌸💕

It is a bit of a stunner isn't it Jane @pelly

That's saying something Debra! There are so many beauties @debs69

Thanks Jayne @jaynehynesburton

Isn't she Rachel? I'm a bit late to the #hellebore party up here but seem to have arrived in style! 🌸💕🎉
