The snow has been lovely and plentiful over the past, uh, four weeks. Underneath are the wonderful hopes of spring. Back in January I took these photos at the Cottage. A very robust Helleborus foetidus was there, looking great, with these spectacular buds. Maybe in just a month, I will see them again, preparing to bloom.
This plant is tough, and despite the heaps of snow over it now, it should be happy as can be when things start to melt. In front of it is a rather dead looking Eryngium. Hopefully the Helleborus will encourage it to live again.
Nearby, another Eryngium, or Sea Holly, is looking OK. And the Snowdrops (Galanthus) are always fine, despite being heaved out of the soil altogether.
If your garden landscape looks like a snow covered wasteland to you right now, think of the impervious plants just waiting to arise.
