You're right - I did mean hellebores Will get out there with the bfb this weekend. Mulching might have to wait til later, as I have too many bulbs in that bed to mulch until the leaves die down. Thanks for the tip.
Not exactly a garden picture, but I'd forgotten about this amaryllis and left it in a pot for 2 years, only being watered by rain. Then I found it being eaten by a slug so I re-potted it and have been feeding and watering it and look what it's done!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I love it when amaryllis do that. I buy new every year, but throw the old ones in the greenhouse for the summer. They die down and then sometimes at this time of year there is a phallic bud rising and I bring it indoors to flower.
Lovely pictures Joybell. Is that a twisted hazel? I have a small one in a pot on my patio but I have nowhere near as many catkins as you. Yours looks amazing, thank you for sharing your photos.

Lovely pics all - glad the snowdrops have taken well Panda
Verd - you have beautiful hostas - mine are very puny in comparison.
Am I meant to feed them, and if do, when.??

Hello everyone,
Just taken photos of the garden today, to show what is in flower. Started cutting back last years perennials and generally clearing up.
I love seeing all the photos, so thank you.
