While in England over Easter I managed to capture a few rays of sunshine in my Mum’s garden. This hellebore has been in a pot all winter, and clearly feels happy there! It is the only one we knew the name of: Pink Frost.
Bluebells, although not the native ones (Hyacinthoides non-scripta). No, these are the dreaded Spanish ones: Hyacinthoides hispanica… Why dreaded? Well, they are invasive and hybridise freely. This is putting the native one at risk.
A viburnum, just beginning to open up its tiny petals. The buds look quite waxy, like a plastic model!
And one final picture of that gorgeous hellebore again! I just couldn’t resist!
That’s it from England until I visit again in the summer. All the kind words about my Mum’s plants have been passed on thank you!
And thanks for stopping by!
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen und Texte.
Vielen Dank! 🙂
Your photos have done justice to the beauty of these flowers. 🙂
Very kind, thanks Robin!
The bluebells are sweet–despite being invasive. I only wish they would take over a few barren areas of my Zone 5A garden.
I think they are very choosy about where they grow… I have never had any luck in Germany.
I have that variety of Viburnum – common name around here is May Flower – growing on my front walk. The scent is heavenly right now…
Lovely photos!
I have never been at my Mum’s at the right time to enjoy the scent. I wonder if it would like our climate…
Thanks for visiting again! 🙂
The variety of flowers are beautiful – your photography has captured them beautifully 😀
Cheers

Thank you! 🙂
I like the viburnum. Such a lovely flower! And I´d like to say it again: amazing photos!
I’ll have to check how hardy it is… maybe one for your garden? 😉
This is the first time I read your blog. I love it. I’m glad I found it.
So glad you stopped by Mary!
