Signs Of Spring

Are your gardens showing any signs of Spring? Here are a few photos taken in Gwen's garden two days ago.


"HCG Jacob" Helleborus Niger. "It started blooming the beginning of December. I was able to pick flowers in the garden to grace our Christmas Dinner table", says Gwen. It is part of the Helleborus Gold Collection



Viburnum bod antennae " Pink Dawn". It starts to bloom late November and will be fragrant on a sunny winter day.




The tree is an Acer Griseum or paperbark maple. It also has a beautiful display of fall colour. Here is a close up of the bark, a good choice for Winter interest.

    Hellebore niger do bloom earlier than other Hellebores, sometimes called Christmas Rose for that reason.
