The bundles of snowdrops fill out year by year and they resow it-self
to the heart of the hostas which are still in sleep. |
|
|
At the end of February, the cheerfulness of the bright colours of croci. |
 |
|
|
|
The small apples of the malus 'Everest' are always there, in fine February. This year, birds seem to neglect them. It's true that this winter isn't rigorous. |
|
|
Hebes or shrubby veronicas assures the durability of the decoration in the loose stones. At the centre, hebe albicans 'Red Edge', at the left and at the right hebe ochracea 'James Stirling'. |
 |
|
 |
Here is the grass who participates in the decoration in the winter months too. The hanging sedge keeps beautiful leaves and continues even its growth. |
|
|
Helleborus orientalis 'Camelia'. the hellebores are among my favourite flowers. I chose this cultivar because it has the first name of my wife. |
 |
|
 |
Helleborus orientalis 'Clair buisson' : very brilliant bloom under the winter sun. |
|
|
Helleborus orientalis 'Cosmos'. It seems less strong than the others cultivars. |
 |
|
 |
Helleborus orientalis 'Vesta' : very flower-bearing cultivar, one of the first ones to be decorated with flowers, at the beginning of February. |
|
|
Helleborus argutifolius, or hellebore of Corsica, liking perfectly in Normandy, growing very quickly, the bloom of which lasts four months, from the end of January to the end of May. It resow it-self abundantly. |
 |
|
 |
The Christmas roses, at this end of February, take a beautiful colour old pink. |
|
|
It's not always easy to find in the nurseries of the precise
cultivars of oriental hellebores. I bought mine at Martine Lemonnier in
Beaumont le Hareng which supplies certain cultivars decorating with flowers
from January following the plantation. She sells by mail order or on the
spot. His garden can be visited and is worth the detour. |
