February Blooms

 Helleborus Cinnamon Snow

There is a stand of old trees in my backyard.  That area does not get sun except in winter and early spring before the trees leaf out.  In that area under the trees are 17 helleborus plants, among many ferns that have not appeared yet.  The helleborus plants always bloom by the first week of February, and sometimes in January.

This is a close up of one of the plants.  They do brighten the area, and the deer, of which we have many, won't eat them.  They will bloom for a couple of months.

Daffodils

These daffodils are part of a row in my backyard.  There is also a row in the front yard lining the front walk. All these photos were taken on 2/5/24.
