#winterhellebore

[gardenmuse]

A mid winter treat - head south to find spring !!!

Leaping forward in time to a place filled with the scents and flowers of early spring is an absolute perfect way to fight the winter blues.  

Love to be able to enjoy the sights and fragrances of flowering apricot, camellia,  cherry,  edgeworthia, daphne, sweet box, witch hazel, cauldrons of floating hellebore and the earliest of spring bulbs - daffodils, crocus, snowdrops and aconite .

At Pine Knot Hellebore Festival in Clarksville, Virginia

Vintage pink and chartreuse faded winter hellebore add their charm amid the tall arching stems of the Giant Solomon’s seal.   Long lived beauties not needing a lot of care.
