  2. Sind das Christrosen?

    Jedenfalls sind diese wunderschönen Pflanzen ein Lichtblick im Februargrau!

  3. Ok Karin, you might have a little barn jealousy but I have a huge flower jealousy working here and you have a bee! I won't see any flowers except the store bought kind for three more months! And I'm cold too....ugh!

  4. Dear Karin, What do you mean, finally? Finally is not for another 2 months in this climate. But I do have all of the Helleborus for which you are looking. Wish I could send you a few little plants. Don't know if it is legal.

  7. Oh, these are beautiful! It's so exciting seeing plants come alive in spring...particularly after snow!

  8. Such stunning photos - I especially love the greens and purples. No signs of spring yet here in grey, damp England, alas. And thank you for showing your exquisite nearby chateau in an earlier post - a glimpse of a life one can only dream of!
