I displayed some hellebores in a blue glass bowl a few posts back. Honestly, I TOTALLY forgot that I’d seen that idea here on your post! I think I will add a link to your post from mine, as an addendum. Yours actually look much prettier than mine; you also have a larger variety! Since I left my last message here, I have acquired quite a few more…and they aren’t all floating in my bowl. (A lot of them don’t have flowers but will need to wait until next year. I bought them when they were done blooming.)

I love all of the spring freshness of this post. The bumble looks like it’s really enjoying itself in the flower. The newly arisen plants, and bulbs by the Ginko tree look like they are taking advantage of the light, before it leafs out. I like the combination of bulbs and Helleborus in the spring border.

Dear EG, thank you for the idea for the synchronized swimming. I will try it – I presume other flowers can do it too? (They could have a Floral Olympic Games. ) But I particularly wanted to comment on what you said about multi tasking. How can we garden, blog and still have a non horticultural non virtual life? This blogging business and also gardening – they’re for fun, not duty. How to do it all, enjoy and not get overwhelmed? What a challenge!!!!!!
cheers, catmint

Yes, floating the helleborus flowers is the best way to enjoy them inside…

Love the Hellebores.
And the bee – what better evidence of the awakening of the garden into Spring than that photo?

it’s not problem if you don’t have time to blogging now but you can take many many photos for us, so you can post these photos whenever you find time

The hellebores look like a bowl of fruit salad with kiwi fruits in.

Very tempting.

Isn’t garden clean up one of the most satisfying chores of the entire year? It feels so hopeful, like you’re kicking off the season, whether or not the weather’s ready to cooperate.

Those Hellebores deserve a medal – the color range is wonderful. I am so chomping at the bit to get out and garden, but the ground stubbornly remains frozen, and my Hellebores are still sleeping.
