The hellebores are very pretty, also some of the daffs are quite unusual.  Thanks for showing us.  :wave:

Is this a crown imperial, Johhny?  They flower in mid-summer right?   :tongue3:

Those are crown imperials, but they flower now rather than in summer. It's a near eastern species which is used to summer drought; they grow like mad, flower, and die back in short order.

Nice tulips, and why is it I get the feeling you like rhubarb?

Mine are just starting to appear through my manure mulch, rhubarb that is  :drunken_smilie:

TeeGee and Johhny,  Same here although we are located roughly halfway between you both, it does feel like a different country.  What I see is much closer to you Tee Gee on the cold 'spine' of the country :wave:
