And again...

...more Hellebores. H. sternii.

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.

Hellebores, Hellebores, Hellebores!

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.

Wedgwood

My favorite cup.

First snow

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! :-)

Fun has begun

Love this one. Helleborus x hybridus.

Surprise

Helleborus niger's first bloom on only one year old seedling.

The sign of Spring

Helleborus x hybridus

Ume

Long awaiting sight: blooms of Ume!

On the back of the mirror,
A spring unseen,
A flowering plum-tree.
