Feb 28, after a night of heavy rain. We did not have any flow for a couple of years.
And here is the waterfall leading to the street
We have hundreds of Lenten roses in the garden ranging in color from white to burgundy.
I have tried several specialty varieties. The bears foot hellebore died out years ago. I had a green hellebore that lasted for years, but never grew. This year it has no bloom stem.
Here is a blue lady hellebore that is growing larger after one year.
An Ivory Prince that seems quite happy after one year
