 |
| Wine Helleborus x hybridus |
The hellebores have been blooming since February and the flowers will last for many months.
 |
| Helebore x hybridus |
Many gardeners are complaining of their losses this year due to the harsh winter; but, the hellebores have been unaffected and are flourishing.
 |
| White Helleborus x hybridus |
For some reason, I favor the white ones.
 |
| Helleborus x hybridus |
 |
| Narcissus 'Tete a Tete' |
Short in stature but color intense, mini Narcissus 'Tete a Tete' can command your attention. Tete a tete means head to head and there are two flowers per stem seemingly in a conversation. This fact may help identify them if they get lost among other minis.
A mulch of leaves remains in the beds until April when it will be removed and added to the compost bin.
 |
| Jonquils |
Unlike other narcissus, jonquils have tubular rather than flattened foliage.
 |
| Forsythia |
You can always count on forsythia for a big splash of color.
 |
| Lycoris squamigera/Naked Ladies |
Lycoris adds a lot of green to the garden as early as February. They will soon be covered with daylilies. Then after the daylilies bloom like a big surprise out will pop the naked ladies.
 |
| Texas Red Flowering Quince |
For color as intense as any azalea but earlier, plant quince.
 |
| Pond |
The plants have started growing in the pond but, the fishes are the main attraction now.
 |
| Bradford Pear |
Fruit trees are the showiest elements of the early spring garden.
 |
| Confederate Violet |
Lastly, the violet is lifting its pretty head from the beneath the woodland leaves.
