It's that time of the month again, to record what's in flower in the garden today.
Well this won't take long.
Helleborus sternii, bowing its head because of the recent snowfall.
Primroses purchased a couple of years ago and still doing well.
Rose Princess Alexandra of Kent, an English Rose bred by David Austin. Remember the rosebud I featured a few posts back, well this is it. Not fully open yet, but not bad for a snowy January day.
And finally, Helleborus orientalis, also featured in the bud post a short while ago. How kind of it to open for today. I'll be featuring this one again when all the buds are open.
So that's it, said it was short. Oh there were some violas and pansies as well, but you would have had to use your imagination, as they were under the snow. They were in full bloom. Really.
If you want to see what's in flower around the world today, why not visit
May Dreams Gardens where Carol is hosting this meme. Thanks Carol.
A ja jeszcze muszę czekać w swoim ogródku na takie śliczne, wiosenne kwiaty. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteAnd I still have to wait in his garden on the beautiful, spring flowers. Yours.
Spring has been delayed here temporarily, a bit of snow to blame.
DeleteBeautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteHappy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

DeleteWhat a lovely double form of hellebore and it's great to have a rose in flower too. We're under snow today here too in Perthshire.
ReplyDeleteYes, we've got the snow now.
DeleteYou double hellebore is lovely, I bought a white spotted double last autumn, can't wait to see its flowers - it is on it's way up. No snow in London yet, despite much hype about it the last few days. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteWe've got the snow now, but the hellebores are pushing through it.
DeleteJanuary can be a pretty tough month for blooms. Good to see your photos. Roses can be quite surprising plants and can last most of the season.
ReplyDeleteGlad I photographed the rose, the next day it succumbed to heavy snowfall.
DeleteYou've lost of blooms. My garden is completely void of any blooms - I'm please I can see what other have so I don't miss out too much!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are now all underneath the snow, but they'll be back.
DeleteLovely to see the colourful blooms on a very bleak day here. I do like Hellebores.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the cheeky little mouse in the earlier post and interesting to read about the flock of feral pigeons. I have them in my garden which I'm not overly happy about but they are very good at clearing up spilt seed which other birds leave under the feeders :-) Some have interesting colours too and I'm sure there are some with Collared Dove in their parentage!
The feral pigeons don't come into my garden, so I've not seen them at close quarters, thankfully.
DeleteHi Chrystal,
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the blooms none-the-less! Hope the recent snow hasn't caused too much damage... February and March cannot come fast enough. Had enough of the cold now; would rather have the grey and wet mild temps back.
I had a David Austin rose budding too... That is until I pulled the bud in an attempt to get a better look and it snapped off! Thanks to the frost. Grrrr. Could've kicked myself.
Hi Liz,
DeleteAll the flowers are now underneath the snow, bet they're still putting on a good show under there.
Great to see some colour in your garden at this time of year. I particularly like the Helleborus sternii.
ReplyDeleteThe hellebore is one of my favourites too, grown from seed, and self-seeds where it's happy.
