Helleborus 'Pink Frost' - Spring in the Greenhouse

Spring in the the Greenhouse

The snow is slowly melting and the sun is getting more bright for each day. This week has been just wonderful with all the sun oozing down onto my grounds. The greenhouse and I loves it! The Auriculas look just fine and I'm sure I'll see them in bloom quite soon.  +20 C (68F) in the greenhouse, now that is nice...I bought my first Helleborus this week and it is called 'Pink Frost' isn't just lovely. This Helleborus is my contribution to this weeks Blooming Friday and Today's Flower. Remember my last weeks post called 'Pistil and Stamen's now you can see more of these fantastic little things at Katarina's place ... just amazing. 

Helleborus ' Pink Frost' in the Greenhouse

Helleborus - Ny bok av Claus Dalby

I got this book called 'Juleroser og Påskeklokker' from a friend of mine and it is so wonderful. A whole book about Helleborus - it has these amazing pictures and a lot of useful information for a novice as myself on the subject Hellerborus . I do recommend you to read it, if you’re not great with the Danish lingo it does really matter it is a feast for the eye.

Claus Dalby has written a lot of beautiful garden books through the years one of them is Drivhus drömmar (Greenhouse dreams) and I wrote about that favourite in 2008. More?...Meet Claus Dalby’s fantastic garden in Risskov

Do follow this link to Ashwood nurseries and read more about the Helleborus. They do have mailorder :-) but I guess it would be frightfully expensive for me to make an order from UK. I just have to find a more local distributor.

I haven’t got a lot of Helleborus in my garden but after reading this book and after the 'visit' to Ashwood Nurseries I do have to make a change about that. I wonder if I could grow them from seeds?

Juleroser og påskeklokker

Vilken bok! Det här är precis vad man vill dyka ner och botanisera i under mellandagarna. Vilken prakt, sagolika bilder och så mycket matnyttigt för en novis som jag är på ämnet Jullrosor Helleborus (Ranunculaceae)

Var finns det en bra plantskola som har fina Julrosor?

Finns det någon som kan tipsa om var man kan hitta fröer eller plantor?
