Hellebores in Bloom



After yesterday’s April snowfall and today’s winter temperatures, we could all use some reminders that spring is indeed here. The hellebores have lived up to their Lenten rose nickname and are in full bloom. Enjoy the images of hellebores and other spring blooms captured by Gardener Claire this weekend.
