Aym, lovely hellebores and snowdrops. Especially those double ones are very pretty.
Runnybeak, cold isn't the problem here, the lack of it is!! We don't have winters cold enough to naturally grow hyacinths and tulips.
You can make pakoras at home too. They are very easy. You just need chickpea flour(this is a must, rest all is optional) and whatever spices, herbs, veggies (potatoes, onions,zucchini, egg plant, carrot, beans, spinach) ,bread, natural yougart chicken, fish or whatever you like. Serve it with ketchup/mustard/any chutney you like and leftover pakoras can be used to make pakoras curry for dinner.
The lily bud does look like a snake about to strike. Can't wait to see your lilies in bloom.
Joyce that amaryllis is amazing. Never seen that colour in my entire life!! And that garden is beautiful too! Is it yours?
It looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see it in bloom!!!
Do you have no fuchsias? I dont know why but for some reason, whenever I picture a garden with azalea and camellia, I automatically place some fuchsias in it too. Same the other way round. I always picture these three plants together. Sadly, all three die in our summers.
Vishu - eight fuchsias, some in pots. They flower here at the end of August and through autumn. You can get tender summer flowering ones but they don't survive the frost.

Vishu = that is part of my garden which will be full of azalea, rhododendron, camellia and viburnum blossom in May.

Such lovely photos from everyone, and snowdrops already
. Mine have only just started to emerge.
Found another abandoned pot yesterday
. Narcissus that my daughter bought for me last spring, still in the same pot with the shop label on
I really must stop dumping stuff at the bottom of the garden and then forgetting about them.
Kitty - It's nice to find a surprise
It's the pots without labels that are the problem!!!
Joyce, nothing survives the heat!! Fuchsias, azaleas, camellias They all die.
We have hard time keeping suclents and cactus alive. Only annuals that grow are marigolds, cockscomb, yellow cosmos, balsam, portuleca and zinnias.
Kitty that's a lovely surprise!!!!
