A bit of cheer amidst the gloom!


My Sister took these in our back garden last week

It makes the garden so much brighter to have late winter blooms out



Any guesses as to what they are?




Here's an easy one for you!

Hmm I was going to say the same as brom but I am glad I didnt now as I see it would have been foolish with you anticipating and all.
As for that Jayne chatting up your sis.

Good lord. You have FLOWERS? In FEBRUARY? FLOWERS?

Sorry. No hope of me identifying them. I'm too dumbfounded... flowers???

I think they are hellebore? We have a load in our garden which are also in flower and look beautiful.

They are huge man eating plants I think - either that or you were really close! Did they roar or chomp at all?

We had crocuses out in the first week in January and now the whole place is full of daffs!
