Spring beckons

 As well as fat tulips pushing through the soil in my terracotta pots I also have lots of these mini iris - a beautiful blue in the clear light.

 Two very different hellebore, such a shame that they dip their heads so shyly and their full beauty is hidden to anything less than two centimetres tall. The flower heads are lovely when floated in a shallow bowl of water but I like them to have a long growing season. Each little dot on the white flower looks as if a fairy has painted it on by hand.
