Lenten Roses



Hellebores are such obliging flowers...


 They bloom in winter... 

  

The deer don't eat them...



They spread and naturalize, producing all manner of variations...



I took these photos (fittingly) on Ash Wednesday.  The next day the flowers were covered with snow. But they'll emerge unscathed to bloom for weeks.

We love our hellebores as well. Another welcome sign that spring is on the way.

Hello, they are beautiful blooms. We are so far behind here, I am starting to see some daffies come out. I hope your day is great, wishing you a happy new week ahead!
