Hellebore delight from #aTinyGardenInNorthEastWales It's that time of year when the hellebores provide a spectacular display of colours, shapes and freckles.

A very pink atmospheric start to the day with a rising dragons breath creeping up the valley sides and the sheep crunch their way over a frost ridden field.

Not to be outdone by the setting moon this morning, the setting sun sang hallelujahs as she sank below the horizon.

Last day folks!
Hostas
Grown for their wonderful foliage, I love the flowers. Quite small and delicate from palest lilac to deep purple. The bees love them too.

The front garden is full of these and they are such a glorious colour when they arrive.

Todays joy is a sweet pea flower, but more the hoverflies dancing around it. We get loads of pollinators in the garden and I love hearing their gentle droning sounds. Very therapeutic and calming.

Hellebores in my garden #aTinyGardenInNorthEastWales
I took this photo last March while having a wander in my back garden. At the time I had Covid and was looking for something to cheer myself up. The Hellebore flowers provided that cheer. Although I did manage to slice my finger open while cutting the flowers 🤦♀️

Day 26 #JanuaryJoy
Today would have been my wonderful Mum's 93rd birthday. Her favourite flowers were roses.
This is a climber rose in #aTinyGardenInNorthEastWales called Paul's Himalayan Musk. It has a small pink flower and flowers profusely. It's also a thug and will spread like fire! We forgive its thugishness because the scent is absolutely beautiful, particularly on warm summer evenings.

Non-climbing clematis 'Blue Love'
Exactly as described, this clematis grows in Bush form and does not climb. The flowers are small with curling petals ad a gorgeous lilac blue.
Dwarf Japanese Anemone
Bought this at a plant Hunter fair. It a dwarf version of the invasive, very tall Japanese anemone and with double petalled flowers.
I'm looking forward to seeing it grow and flower this summer.

Daffodil time
Love daffodil time. We've planted so many in planters and in the garden in the ground and on our walls. They don't flower until late April, well after most in the area.

Antirrhinum
Snapdragons
These and the nasturtiums were a massive hit last year. Continuous flowering all summer and well into November December, the hard frosts and snow finally did for them. Deadheading ensured the reflowering. This photo was taken Nov. 2022. Will definitely be growing these again.

Clematis
Climbs up lines of string by the front door and soaks up the sun's heat as it sets behind the hills. I'm looking forward to the these light evenings and watching the sun setting.

Woke up to a very sparkly frosty morning, which added a layer of ice to the snow already on the ground. Promises of a thaw over the next few days. Choir rehearsal this morning which is always joyous 😊

Sweet peas
Grown from seed and trained up a cane pyramid. They flower all summer by our front door and provide lots of colour and scent for everyone. Keep cutting the flowers and the plants send more flowers. Lots of colour and perfume for the house too.

Astrantia
These flower for months on end. I have pink, red and creamy white colours. The flowers are so delicate and very attractive to pollinators especially hoverflies.

Snowdrops. We have singles and double varieties in our garden and they take over a bit of the garden every year. A joy to see every year.
