Primula praenitens



Primula praenitens does seem to like the micro climate of my cold and windy garden.

Slategray Helleborus orientalis



The flowers was hiding under the leaves. Nice surprise. Hellebores orientalis: Slategray group (that what the tag said). I am fond of dark and almost black flowers.

Any chance?



First bloom of double Hellebores with ...pink tag. Is there a chance I have a chameleon worth $35 there? Neither white or yellow.

First visit



After my first visit to the big nursery in 2008 I can say that "only" two Clematis plants followed me home: C. 'Veronica's Choice' and C. integrifolia 'Rosea'...not that I needed them (I have the first and could probably grow the second from the seed )...but the tags were in Polish! :-)

Ume



Long awaiting sight: blooms of Ume!
On the back of the mirror,
A spring unseen,
A flowering plum-tree.
