Hellebores (Lenten Rose)

Hellebores 

Hellebores are still blooming! Hellebores start to bloom in late winter or early spring. They are often called Lenten  Rose because they bloom around the beginning of Lent.   The Hellebores or Lenten  Rose blooms for several weeks and the blooms last even longer fading as other spring flowers arrive adding both color and a feeling of serenity and peace as you watch them. 

You will see them blooming in neighborhood flowerbeds as well as professional gardens  in botanical gardens and parks.  Take a pause, take a breath and check them out in your neighborhood or in a public garden to add a little quiet and tranquility to your day. 

Add them to your yard because they are low-maintenance once established.  They are also deer resistant because they are filled with alkaloid toxins so deer know to stay away!

Hellebores are still blooming in my yard and each day when I go outside and see them, I feel a bit go joy! What is blooming at your house or in your neighborhood that brings joy? Check out the photos below.
