Merry Christmas In a Vase on Monday

Flowering on Christmas Day in spite of heavy frosts and a little bit of snow a few weeks ago.  Plants are amazing and that is why we love them.



All of these were growing outside apart from this little collection:



My final treasure - the first Hellebore:



Take heart - spring is just around the corner.
Merry Christmas everyone and thank you for sharing, visiting and commenting throughout the year and thanks, as always, to Cathy for hosting - In a vase on Monday

  3. You've got a lovely collection of blooms, Alison! I've got one hellebore in bloom too but, as those blooms are rarities here, I'm not going to cut it. Best wishes for a merry Christmas!

    1. Thank you. I'm hoping to have many more hellebores in the weeks to come. I planted new ones last year.

  4. Oh what a pretty collection, Alison - and your first hellebore too! I shall have counted by seasonal blooms today and will show them tomorrow, but they are quite sparse.

    1. They do look good together, perhaps you'll find more than you think.

  5. I can't believe you've got so many plants flowering - it was thin pickings for me in Salford and I had to raid a neighbours hedge for the snowberry in this weeks vase . hope you're all having a lovely Christmas break. love Bec xx

    1. This is really it and I think it's going to be thin pickings here for the next few weeks. We'll have to be creative.
