First blooms of the year

Cherry Ong often share her locomotion to other garden in our GPOD on the Road feature , but today we ’re in her beautiful home garden in British Columbia , take care at the efflorescence of recent wintertime and early spring .

Helleborusargutifolius‘Silver Lace ’ ( Zones 6–8 ) is ahelleborethat does n’t have the bright colour of some of the loan-blend , but it more than pee-pee up for it with the silvery - unripe , sawtooth foliage .

HelleborusWinter Jewels ‘ Onyx Odyssey ’ ( zone 5–9 )

Always spectacular in the fountain is my 15 - twelvemonth - oldHelleborus × hybridus‘Kingston Cardinal , ’ a Dan Hinkley hellebore .

Kingston Cardinal ’s fellow traveler hellebore in the same bed , also 15 years old , isHelleborus × hybridus‘Goldfinch . ’ This one suffered from botrytis several age ago , and I stress my best to spare it . To me , it attend much better , but there are still traces of it . Hopefully it will proceed to get good and I can keep the plant for a lifetime .

I cut some hellebore bloom and brought them to exploit ! The best means to light up everyone ’s solar day is to wreak them flower .

Here are the first bloom ofNarcissusbulbodicum‘Spoirot ’ ( Zones 4–8 ) . Who can resist these hoopskirt blossom ? I essay institute some in container last year and am still waiting for the bloom .

I ’m not really sure about the name of this hellebore in my backyard ; it might beHelleborus × hybridus‘Apricot Blush . ’ It ’s in spades a Marietta O’Byrne hellebore . I have a go at it her entire collecting of winter jewels and wish I had the outer space to grow them all !

Saxifraga× geum‘Dentata ’ ( Zones 6–9 ) is so loose to arise . It ’s unbelievable how it ’s grown into such a huge pot from one little potentiometer .
