Wednesday was a cloudy cold day but despite the low temperatures the lying snow did thaw a little bit and parts of the garden started to emerge from beneath the blanket of snow.
This hellebore was pictured on 12 January. The cold snap had started but the snow hadn't arrived. Optimistically it was the first real sign of spring but then the snow arrived and confirmed it was definitely winter and not springtime.
The snow has gradually stated to thaw and our hellebores will hopefully continue to flower after a couple of weeks in the deep freeze.

The hellebore is a gorgeous colour. I'm sure it will continue to do it's stuff once the snow has gone.
ReplyDeleteForecast says -6°C tonight. Hope it's wrong
