Stolen Images

Our next door neighbor asked us to keep an eye on their place for the weekend.  So as they sail down the driveway towards Grandmas' house... I grabbed my camera and took some photos of her helebores.  They are heavenly! 
 
 Are these not to most beautiful things you have ever seen?
These are my very own mini daffodils.  A couple of Easters' ago my Mom brought them over.  They have been happily spreading out ever since.
Twisted Filbert... Corylus avellana 'Contorta' .... Harry Lauder's Walking Stick, is much deserved of many names!  It's a fantastic plant for winter interest and in the spring when the catkins emerge it's so lovely.
A pure white helebore (even after I played with the color on this photo).  Not my plant yet... (my neighbor is very generous :)  My white helebore is more of a pale green..... I think I need some photos of my own plant!

Spring is almost sprung

What a glorious day. Spring is arriving on Vancouver Island BC. The hellebores and snowdrops are charming me; I am so under their spell I can’t stop taking pictures of them. Since I must get back to the Canada vs. US hockey game (GO CANADA) in today’s post the photos will tell the story.
