@WAMS, yes it is isn't it. It's usually one of the first to bloom but is late this year. I think I bought it from Hardy Plants but it's so long ago I can't be sure. I absolutely love it.
I bought one of these at the weekend. It's H. solar flair (correct spelling) and was sold by the person who bred it a few years ago. Mine won't flower until next year. Picture (poor quality, my fault) is one in growers garden.
I like your green apricot @JessicaS, it looks great with the red bits, although I understand that might not be why you bought it
Solar Flair is very striking @Uff, I hope it does well for you.
I haven't noticed any fading with my 3 yellows but I will keep an eye out this year. They aren't strong yellows I suppose but cheerful enough.
This sweet white has the descriptive and no-nonsense name of 'Single White Red Flush, Dark Nectaries'. It is doing nicely in the dry rubbish soil in the front border.
This is Anemone Dusky Grape from Ashwood. I think I need some under planting so it blends in less with the soil. Maybe yellow crocus or something...
The front one is a seeding from one of the Harvington speckled. I think it is Pretty Ellen Red in the mid ground and Harvington Apricot at the back in front of the bench.

I don't think I have seen one so yellow, @Uff. Beautiful.
Very glad of hellebores today. It is freezing, wet and muddy out there, with just a few little hellebores (and polyanthus) to cheer the place up.
PS. How happy are you with the colour your pic is displayed? On your screen of course, mine may be different.

@bédé the colour of mine in the photo is pretty much the colour it really is. On my Laptop, don't know about yours though.
